There are jibs and genoas and we have ours numbered.
Can someone tell us which is the "blade" that so many refer to?
Thanks

Blade

Typically the 'blade' is your 105% (or smaller), low-clewed headsail. It is not your high-clewed 'storm jib'.

Thanks, that would have been the guess.
We just didn't want to go around talking about things we had all wrong. :lol:
