What size head sale for 37C in 10 to 15 not winds? How hard is tacking a 150 Genoa when tacking and getting the sail around the cutter rigging? I presently have a 110 yankee cut headsail. Any tricks used with a 150 Genoa?

You have a cutter. It is designed to be sailed with Yankee and staysail together in that wind strength. Why do you want a genoa? If you want to sail it as a sloop, remove the staysail and inner forestay, and buy a genoa. Blaise Pascal sails the H37C this way. Lots of info in the archives.
I had a big Genoa on mine. With inexperienced crew it was a hassle getting caught on the stay sailboat wire often. I replaced it with a yankee and am happier. Bear in mind the crew experience level.
