Got to sail with my new boat's genoa for the first time -- its a 155% vs. the 110% jib, and in 6-8 knots of breeze I got a substantial boost in speed. And it was all eminently manageable single-handed. And to be out of a late afternoon in early November going 5 knots in 8 knots of wind, or 4 knots in 5 knots of wind was fantastic. Definitely a game-changer from the jib. Now in the summer in the Chesapeake I'll be able to compete much better in my mixed fleet, many of which have gargantuan genoa's.
