What is the headstay (luff) dimension for hanked-on jibs/genoas? Approximately what would the "J" dimension be for a 135% and 150%? Do any O26 owners have 150% or larger genoas and, if so, how does the boat handle?

150

I Have a 150 on my 26 and it works fine. I generally sail in light air but have a furler so I can reef if needed

My 155% genoa works well in winds from 1-9 knots. It is hanked on and sheets lead back to blocks near the primary winch. Brad Jones
