Genoa sizes compatable with H 23.5

[timothy_c]

I'm interested in info on using different genoas on my H 23.5 I bought the boat 3 years ago and I'm using the sails that it had. The head sail is only a working jib. With the lifeline / stanchion arrangement I don't think I can go much larger than a 115. If anyone has any experience or advice I'd appreciate it..

Tim, the whole idea behind your (and my) rigging design is to place the power in the fat-roached main and use the jib primarily as an aid to balance the rig and help pointing. If the winds are too light and you want more sail area, an A-kite is recommended for 60* to 145* AWA.
