Kevin: Get a 150%. This jib the size the M17 is design to use. A 135 under powers the boat! If you don't want to do foredeck get a Schaefer Snapfurl, a much better system than CDI. To improve reefed sail shape on furler get a foam luff. Talk with Harry at E/P Sailmakers. Hw know the Mboats. He is making me a new set for SWALLOW as I type this. :: Dave Scobie :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: M6'8" #650 :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com On Sat, Jan 12, 2019, 2:31 PM Kevin Sandwick <ksandwick@hotmail.com wrote:

Time to open a can of worms. On the fence over two new head sails or roller furling for my M-17. Not a kid anymore and I sail 95 % single handed. 1985 model. Currently 105 % headsail with single reef in main. Thinking of adding a 80% and a 135% or a 135 on CDI furller. Asymmetrical spinnaker is on the list for down the road a bit. Is the CDI the go to furller? Appreciate any feedback, This is a tough decision for me. I tried to access searchable archives with no luck. Thanks Kevin Hull #400
