    376 presently has a 155 and working jib. A lot of time I’m sailing single-handed in Galveston Bay with the working jib, fall through spring when there’s lots more wind than in the summer. Two weeks ago a microburst hit our marina with 60 to 70 mile an hour winds during a thunderstorm , and pulled the working jib off the Furler and shredded it. Say Bill, I kind of remember in a post somewhere that Ed Akers recommended a 120% and said that was probably the best sail for all around windier conditions. Do you remember that and do you remember any of the discussion around it? I’m thinking going that way instead of replacing the working jib for single handing. Would put on the 155 in summer, then the 120 fall through spring. Any other opinions?
