Dwight Yup I believe you. St Margaret’s Bay is a windy area compared with rest of the province. Likely windier than most areas in Lake Ontario region as well

That will make a RF 125 cost approximately $1,000,000 CAD. Persistence is a Frers 33 which is very similar to the CC33-2. For RF we have a 100% pentex with taffeta both sides and an older square weave dacron 155 which seems a bit blown out. When not doing much with the boat we leave the 100 on the furler. It is underpowered for most conditions. When racing we take the sails off the furler and use our Kevlar 155, 140 and the RF 100 (no on furler). If I were to have one goto furling sail it would be a 135. We sail in Nova Scotia.

To answer some of your questions. The boat does have a furler. Most of the time it will be my wife and I, we both crew on friends boats for racing. I have several Susan Hoods and LO300s under my belt including the big wind year. Generally on Lake on Ontario we get 15-25 Kn in the spring and late fall, 10-15 in June and July and 5-10 in August and Sept. The boat came with a 120 and 135 in decent shape, so i will probably mess about with those next season before pulling the trigger on a new sail.

We have a 155, a 130, and a 95. The 155 is great for those quiet summer days, the 130 in spring and fall and only used the 95 once late last fall for the single handed challenge. I'd suggest a 130 for cruising, if you're only going to have one. You didn't mention whether or not you had a furler. I've seen many partially furl their large Genoa in heavier winds.
