I don't normally have any headsails aboard but my furling genoa. Like most cruising boats, it gets used rolled all the way out, hardly any of it out, and everything in between. The boat is obviously faster with the racing sails that don't have a big round obstacle as a luff assuming I have the crew to use them, but if I were to race with the furling genoa it never occurred to me that I wouldn't roll it in or out as needed.
