Genoa experiences with the H22
I have a 1983 Hunter 22 (fixed keel model) with two headsails, a 110 and a 150. On the fairly protected waters of Kentucky Lake I seldom sail in winds greater than 20mph. I feel the 110 is the superior sail for winds above 7 or 8 mph. The 150 is great for those light air days and make great shade as well. I think you'll be happy with a Genoa for light air. The 150 does not point nearly as well as the 110 and therefore the 110 is better for racing around the triangles in any windspeed.

Genoa sizing for H22
What are the measurements for a 110 and a 150 Genoa? I bought a head sail set up for my furling system, but it may be too big for the boat. Bargains can be such a pain!!
