What size for a smaller headsail?

[Indysailor]

Currently I just have one headsail for my ODay 23, a 135% genoa. It works quite well much of the time and with a reefed main up to a point, but I'm thinking about a smaller headsail to expand my options in stronger winds. I wonder what size to buy. Suggestions?

A very illuminating and interesting discussion on co.com for those of you who might be in the market for a new jib.

I remember that thread, Stu! Thanks for the reminder.
