I use a 135 cut a little higher off the deck for some added visibility.
It works in many different conditions and I can furl it down to about 90
percent if really needed.

My furling genoa is barely useable for going downwind at this
point, so I think I need another one. Has anyone ever gone small
for the genoa? Instead of 140-150%, I am thinking of going
120-130. I have a chute for light air off the wind. I really hate
not having good sail shape to get upwind on a windy day, after all
that is C&Cs should be good at!
I also have 2 170s, one light Dacron and one Mylar I can rig if I
really want to, but it is very rare I get inspired to get the
furling drum off. Those two are deck sweepers and have to tack to
the stem fitting. They should probably go to an active racer if
anyone still races with the 170 rating.
