Jib size
Originally my Catalina 30 came with a 155. That sail was a bear for me to handle alone. Personaly, I did not like it and the first chance I got I opted for a 135. It was a high cut 135 and I was not crazy about the high cut and wished I had bought a deck sweeper. The problem was I told my wife I only paid $650 for the $1200 sail (nearly 3/4 of the stuff I bought for the boat had prices I made up). She thought $650 was ridiculous so you can imagine the reaction I would have gotten if I told her after using the new jib once that I didn't like it and wanted to get another one!! I got used to the high cut.
