125 Genoa

[hollyclouse]

Am looking for a gently used 125 genoa for my 27 Tall. Anyone have one that they are willing to part with?
Thanks!

Hank on or roller furling? Try Bacon Sail search page (baconsails.com) and L-36 Sails for Catalina 27 sd (l-36.com) where you can look up the sail based on the dimensions OR they can based on your boat's specs Catalina 27 Tall rig (Catalina Yachts) - Sailboat specifications - Boat-Specs.com

Thanks so much! I actually am trying to decide between a 110 and 135...

The Catalina 27 is a mast head rig. The Genoa is the power house for the boat. I would lean to a 135 over the 110 to get optimum performance.

You know, I think you're right. The more I"m reading, the more I'm agreeing. I can reef if needed. I just know the 150 I currently have is too much sail for my boat and it's blown out. Thanks John!

on my masthead H31, I dropped down from a 150 to a 135. Best sail fix I did in this boat. 150 was way too much in the typical SE 15/knot winds in my area. When breeze pipes up more, I have the option to reef and still maintain sail shape.

Note having more than one sail (i.e. a large genoa and a 95%jib) gives you flexibility in your sail choice variety for changing weather.

Most boaters use a single-sail and adjust by furler. They sacrifice a little performance. They do not experience a lot of weather changes as they control it by not going out on days that are questionable. If your out for an extended period then having a few options are worth the extra funds spent.
