[Public-List] More rigging questions: Furling genoa size; Solent stay, anyone?

[JT]

Dear All,

Howdy!

If you have one, can you please tell me the area of your furling genoa? 
Have you had particularly good luck with a certain cut (as far as 
reducing weather helm)?

Also, has anyone experimented with a solent stay (for setting a drifter 
and/or a staysail slightly aft of the jibstay)?

We're starting from scratch (a wrecked rig) and want to maximize 
light-air performance offshore.

Sincerely,
Jeff Twining #58.
