    Those of you that use this sail a lot, at what wind speed do you change to something else? And what weight dacron is your reacher/drifter?
    This is assuming your sail is built to W32 original sailplan specs: luff 43'6" foot 27'6" leach 39'9"..   535sq ft
     

    Thanks for any input

    Gary,

             See Windbag 1975 fall edition for a discussion on sails and their uses. It's good coverage on all sails. Find it in the "owners corner".    Lee
