We've come to question what this headsail is; we've found no markings on it, but it does not go all the way up to the masthead. It also goes a bit behind the mast but not a lot. Do you have any thoughts? I saw mention somewhere that many M17s are sailed with 150 genoas; would that be recommended for inland fresh water with lighter wind? Our mainsail looks fairly new and has a PS logo on it;. Any thoughts on the manufacturer? Thank you! -Gerry
That is most likely your “working” jib, approx. 110%. I recall someone posting that Jerry designed the 17 to sail best with a 150 Genoa. I found (before I got the roller furling 150) that my 135 was the most used jib on my inland lake.

The M17 was designed to use a 150% for light winds (less than 12-15 or so knots) :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred/ On Fri, Jul 5, 2019, 7:42 PM Henry Rodriguez <heinzir@gmail.com> wrote:
