The 35 MK I was designed for a 170, so the sheet leads are good for that. I think they end up a couple feet forward of the winch. I have a Dacron 170 and a mylar 170. Both are great light air sails, but the mylar one can take more wind before being damaged. I swear the furling gear has totally ruined my sailing work ethic though - it seems SO MUCH trouble to get the furling drum off and use the big sails.

Where do you lead the sheets for a 170. My 38MKII uses a 155 regularly and that sheet leads almost back to the winch. I figured that the previous owner (or the original owner) used the transom corner fitting for a turning block location. Incidentally, I have the original IOR rating certificate listing the 170 with a penalty of about 3-4 seconds...........to offset that, the owner shortened the main luff dimension by about 3 feet..........balanced out his penalty.......... Always wondered how you would trim that much sail since it comes back to within a couple of feet of the transom...........Sail bag is labeled H1....North Special 170 Genoa. Someday I'll have to get it out and just set it up to see where it leads...........

My jib has not been used since I got the furling gear around 1987 or so. I have 2 170% genoas that are around 25-28 years old but barely used. Likewise since the furling gear they hardly ever leave the bags.

Mine is a 1980, still feels new, but as you know, we don't use working jibs much around here.

Does anyone have an older sail than that?
