The 110 Genoa seems to power the boat through the tack better because I generates more speed. That said the positioning of the stays for the larger Genoa is...inconvenient. Again, I find it useful to have a designated hand to deal with the fractional jib/genoa. Anything bigger than a 110 or 120 would be a pain the rear due to the positioning of the stays. Im guessing that the weather in North Florida is more benign that anywhere in the UK. Over the next few days I will post up video via YouTube of tacking and jibing with my new jib and the 45 year old Jeckell Genoa and the forum can call it as they see it. Stay tuned.
