I have a standard jib on my H23.5 but would like some more power to go to windward on the lighter air days. Does anyone use a 135 or 155 genny?? And in how much wind do you carry that sail?

135 on 23

Ive got a 23 with a roller-furled 135, and I have come to discover that it is great for a 10 knot day, and actually fine for more (the few times I have gone out in more) that the larger headsail plus a reefed main works well. The 23 isnt really built for heavy air and I dont beleive a 23.5 is either, but the extra sail definitly gives me some more speed and excellent! pointing. (Im not sure if I can beleive it but there are times when the windex tells me I'm sailing about 5 degrees off the wind)
