Can a 130 to a 150% genny even be flown with

the spreaders in their current position on a B

Spreaders and Genoas

Ray: With tracks for fairlead blocks and running the sheets outside the shrouds, 135% or 150% Genoas can be flown on a Hunter 23. - Kevin (Keen)

Does having the sheets outside affect pointing?

I have a 23.5. We have tried a 150% sail and still use it in lighter air.. .But my preference has been to stay with the original 110% because I believe I can point closer to the wind. We then use an asymetrical for reaching. I want to know if my theory on pointing is accurate . . .
