So you may get a striper or a stripper?

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Of all of my trips out this past season (all 4 of them) only one time did I think I should have had the genoa and that was only for the morning.

In Buzzards Bay there is usually no shortage of wind. Many 5-10 days, but an average day would see it more closer to 10-15, so I think I'm going going to stick with my usual jib setup, and I'll keep the genoa on board (just in case).

This past season, being the first with this boat and my first as a boat owner, I just wanted to keep it simple and get through the season without causing any major damage.

Next season, I'm going to be planning some overnight trips to some of the local islands. Anyone sail Buzzards Bay and have any recommendations? Maybe I should post this as it's own thread.

Thanks again for your feedback.

Love that pic... It'd be even better if it were rotated a little to the left to make the earth level, showing how much she's <i>really</i> heeling! (...partly because of the guy in blue. )

I carry my genoa (now a 135) and full main up to 20 or so myself.

That is one of my favorite pics.
