I've seen a chart that lists what sails to fly for various wind speeds. The one I've seen (for a bigger boat) reads like:
1-10 knots, 150 genoa and full main
11-18 knots...
That sort of thing.
Anyone know where to find such info for a 29 MkII?
Or, if someone would care to venture an opinion on when to use what, Ihave the following:
- main with 2 reef points
- 150 genoa
- 110 jib with a reef point
- storm jib
- symetrical spinnaker
(Maybe the genny's got the reef point. Can't remember for sure and they're still tucked away.)

Hi Dann
Since nobody else seems to want to jump into this, I'll give my version
1-10 knots: full main, 150 genoa
11-15 knots: full main, 135 genoa
15-20 knots: 1 reef in main, 135
20-25 knots: 1 reef in main, 110
25-30 knots: 1 reef in main, 1 reef in jib
30-35 knots: 2 reefs in main, storm jib
35 knots plus: full main, spinnaker, run like hell.
I'll send you an excellent piece written by Sean if you'd like, involvesmore fine-tuning.
