Hi Rod,
=A0
On Long Island Sound, I carry three headsails (North 3DL) including a Light=
/Medium 155% #1, a 145% #2 (almost like a heavy #1) and a 100% #3. The #2 i=
s used in the 16-18kts True range, but can go higher/lower depending on the=
conditions and crew weight.
=A0
We usually have two North spinnakers aboard, both AP runners. One is a .75o=
z for heavy air and tight reaches with True wind of 16+kts, especially if i=
t's puffy or waves are likley to cause the occasional popping of the chute =
as it re-fills. The chute we use most of the time is either a 0.5oz or a 0.=
6oz (the newer is the 0.6 and we use that in the more important races).=20
=A0
Some people do not carry a #2 and just go from a heavy #1 to their #3. sinc=
e I can carry the L/M #1 to 15kts True, I don't have a normal heavy #1 and =
I find the 145% #2 is a perfect size for that middle range just above 15.=
=20
=A0
Sometimes staying with a heavy #1 and reefing the main works well in the mi=
ddle range also, so if you are building an inventory I would focus on getti=
ng the #1 and 0.5/0.6oz sorted first and add the #2 last.
=A0
I'd also be interested to hear what others have found works for them.=20
=A0
Regards,
=A0
