I'm looking for a 135% Jib for my C25-SK. I have a 150% but is a bit of a chore to handle with limited crew or single-handed. The standard jib I have is old (maybe original) and it has no UV Stripe. I think a 135% would be a good choice. Need a furlered jib and would prefer the UV edge because it is quite pricey to add it. I'm also thinking about a new one seeing my Main is fairly new.
Thanks,

Spring for a new one since your main is fairly new; you won't regret it. A 135 is a good choice for an all round furling sail. Check out National Sail Supply and The Sail Warehouse. I've dealt with both with good experiences.
Bruce - I don't think so. The 150% that I've been using appears to be basic, nothing special just an 1/8" line sewn in. I just looked at my 110% Jib and it looks OK except it has no UV stripe. I think a new 135% with UV protection will do the trick and be a good investment.
