I have measured an old sail which corresponds to the class minimum of
13' 5". The new sail is 13' 10".
We tried the new sail and the cars are back behind the bulkhead by
two- three holes. The top part of the sail still stalls when we point
and the foot is tight.
From pictures on the forum, everyone has cars set around the back
edge of the window which agrees with our old sail.
It seems like everyone is going with the 150% Genoa but just looking
for confirmation prio to cutting the new one.
