p.s. My Gorge sails run 3.2, 3.7, 4.2, 4.7, 5.2, 5.7, 6.7
with plenty of overlap (except in the 3.2 to 3.7 range).
Good from 16MPH to about 39.5MPH ;*)
I could get by with 3.7, 4.2, 5.2, 6.7 |

Less is better. At 165 lbs. I go 4.2, 4.7, 5.5, 6.5 All depends where you sail and your local winds |

Amen. I tried a wider-spaced quiver once years ago (even had one or two custom sizes to achieve it). It worked, but a) I was always concerned about the impact of a broken sail and b) there's nothing like juuuust the right sail on that very rare perfect day. |

Absolutely agree. Overlap is good.
