[Alan P. Kefauver]

A30 has 189 sqft fore triangle. A 135 has about a 255 sqft area and a 150 genoa is 280sqft. Mast height from deck is 34'3"? 
Don't you think the 100 sqft Gale Sail would be OK with a double reefed main up to about 35 knots of wind? The smaller 60 sqft seems very small.

Andante #152 (who likes to smack Catalina 30's around)
