Hi Andrew, We cruise and race our 33-2 in eastern Quebec since 2011. We have a cruising laminate 110 for stronger winds, the boat can sail very high with this sail but in anything under 10 knots you want more sail area. We also have a racing 132. Why not 135... because we can sheet it in front of the top spreader, my sailmaker sold me the "optimized" design and it works! But we rarely used this sail and tend to jump right from our 110 to our tired 150 membrane genoa if it gets lighter.
Like you said, a sail wardrobe depends of your local conditions. My opinion: Cruising: get the 140, should be plenty of power and easier to tack. In stronger winds, you will be overpowered quickly. Racing : get a 150 You don't mind changing sails and have a 100-110 already, get a 150. If you don't have a spinnaker, you can do pretty good with a poles out 150 downwind. Whatever you choose, you will love your boat with a brand new sail!

I am getting a new X-Drive Endure Genoa for my 33-2. Sailmaker thought 140 would be best but given the predominantly light air we sail in, I was thinking a larger sail. I was wondering if anybody had experience with larger genoa’s for the 33-2. Any thoughts? Thanks! Andy Customized C&C Cutting Boards available at: http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/cutting_boards
