Check with your dealer and other experienced sailors for advice on additional 
equipment. 
 
NOTE: If you carry fuel for an auxiliary motor, you should carry a fire 
extinguisher. However due to the danger of toxic fumes, vaporizing liquid 
extinguishers are not recommended. Dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam 
extinguishers are best. 
 
F. WHAT SAIL TO ADD FIRST 
 
In all probability your boat is standard equipped with a main and working jib 
or lapper. We have listed below in order of importance the additional sails you 
might consider: 
 
1. No. 1 Genoa (150% - 170%) * 
2. 3/4 oz. all purpose spinnaker 
3. No. 2 Genoa (130% - 170%) * 
4. Drifter Reacher (150%. 170%) * 
5. Close Reaching Spinnaker 
6. Heavy Genoa (150%) 
7. Spinnaker Staysail - Big Boy 
8. .05 oz. Spinnaker 
9. Storm Jib 
10. Genoa Staysail 
11. No. 3 Genoa (110% - 120%) * 
 
Sails 1,4, and 9 are suggested for cruising or occasional racing. 
 
*We suggest as a general rule, 150% Genoas; however, for boats racing under the 
M.O.R.C rule and boats of older design (5 years or more) with smaller "J" 
measurements, a 170% may be preferable. 
 
G. WHAT ABOUT CLOTH WEIGHT 
 
The cloth weight for a given sail is predetermined by the sail type, i.e., the 
Genoa, main, etc., total sail area, size of boat and last but not least the 
wind range the sail will most frequently be used in. 
 
Cloth weight, in itself, is only half the factor in determining that your new 
sail will perform as designed.
