I have a stock 150 and a stock 110, I also have a J-24 110 and 150; the 110 is about an 85 blade and the 150 is a 135-40. The J sails use snaps instead of hanks, I like them. I also have a Capri 25 150 Mylar. I have been wanting to lay them out to get a good feel for my assumptions about their sizes. It was blowing hard today so I could not keep the luffs perfectly lined up but I TRIED. (My ladder even blew over!) My J sails were free and the Mylar cost me about $100 after some repairs.
The stock sails are in remarkable shape for 23 years, but realistically they are done for any kind of competition.
The J blade is awesome and beat to death, (what J blade isn't?) I am sending it for repair. It uses leech battens which are either gone or have torn pockets.
The J genny has way too deep a pocket for the size sail it is and I am trying to decide whether to toss it or get it re-cut. That pocket shows how much stiffer the J is than our boat.
The Capri seems within inches of my 150 so I assume it will be legal for the nationals. The clew is so high though that it sheets behind the primaries.
If you have any comments or questions please reply.

I think you need to sell me that Capri 25 Mylar 150. That's what I think. (Just kidding). I'm getting a new 150 made by Hallett. The one that came with my boat was a laminated sail and it was literally see through in some areas. It was originally a hank on that had been cut down a bit to fit the furler, but never had a UV cover put on and was left on the furler for about 3 years. Nice sails Frank.

I just got back from the club and the Wed nite race meeting. It is gusting to 35 mph and steady mid 20's. I am sure that the screw drivers is a great idea, unless they become projectiles, I would have needed LONG screwdrivers today! My ladder was blown over in the lee of the boat! It was fun to see so many people working on their boats and about 20 in the water already.

You're going to be stoked with that Hallet genny! Was over at their loft yesterday for their annual seminar. Wandered around the loft looking at things during lunch. Those guys know their stuff! I can't wait to try out my new 150.
