Hi All,
Our main and 155 genny are in need of replacement and our Variable winds at Bear Lake are an understatement. Calm seas and light winds are common in late summer and many times were are sailing in circles just to keep the boat moving.
I like a larger genoa that I can reef on the fuler because these light winds can quickly become gusty 20-30 mph gales where a quick reef is handy. These winds often die off and you're headed back to the marina with all the sail you can muster.
We race a little on weekends, but question the need for the high end composite sails for a medium performance boat like the C270
Cost is also part of the equation but not the most important thing. In Utah our purchase would be online as I don't think there are any remaining sail makers around.
Thank you... even direction to a previous thread would be appreciated.
