315 Question: What light wind Sail are you using to handle beam to broad reach? Furling Genneker, Doyle UPS, Code 0, whisker pole on the Genoa?

[VFR750]

Title says it all. For a 315 did you add a second headsail, and what did you go with?

During the summer, Long Island Sound, and particularly Fisher Island Sound, have two interesting features

1. 5kt+ air from the south west is the norm and generally an East-West orientation, which implies you are tacking to go West, or running downwind to go East.
2. 1-2+ kt tidal currents, plus the LIS/Atlantic tides colliding at the entrances to FIS, combined with some fetch, creating 2-3' swells that are really close together; bumpy.

After 1 season on our 315, I find the Main+135% Genoa isn't quite enough for downwind to power through the rougher patches in a broad reach. Often the jib collapses and has to refill, making forward progress slow, or non-existent (going backwards with the current) We do not have a whisker pole.

We are short-handed sailing, so a Spinnaker and Full Asymmetric is not on the list.

I am considering a North Sails "Furling Gennaker" or something similar

Has anyone solved this kind of problem, and what did you do? Would you do it again or something else?

I can talk to the sail makers, but I like some input from the users.
