Brian,
I have never sailed on a 34, but it looks very similar to my 38 in
design but a little more tender. When I replaced my 155% I went with a
120% and I'm very happy with it for a cruising sail. Plenty of power for
cruising, much easier handling.... I had the old UK loft (now North) in
Annapolis make it and was very impressed. That loft has made all of the
sails that have ever been on my boat since it was new in 1976. My 155%
is aging nicely in the storage shed. For cruising, I would highly
recommend the smaller headsail. Nice to have the 155% just in case I get
a little itch to go race. I did use dacron, but specified a little
lighter cloth than would normally be used on a small headsail, I think
it was 6oz instead of the recommended 8oz.

Brian,
At 100 or 110%, that’s pretty small — practically a storm jib — which
I’m guessing you won’t bring out until it’s really blowing. In that
case, I’d stick to some heavy-duty Dacron.
Suggest you reach out to National Sail Supply — nationalsail.com
<http://nationalsail.com>. They make some sails at great prices.
All the best,
Edd

My 1979 C&C 34 is only equipped with a 155 headsail. Would like to
have a 100 or 110 on hand. Any ideas?
