Thanks

Why? I would just get a good set of 5/16" and call it good as your only set.

We have only one set of Genny sheets. Did you mean Spinny sheets? we carry a 1/4" set with lightweight plastic clips for when the breeze drops below 3 knots.

thanks guy.

Tim I meant genoa. We have a set of light air spinnaker sheets. We race mostly PHRF. We are the only place in the whole world that still uses olympic triangle. So we need something for those off wind nights with light air.

We also race triangles more often than not here in Sandusky.
Our boat likes them - we do lots of passing on those reaching legs.
Try a whisker pole for the light air reaches - might help you more
than light sheets (although we have those too).
