I went down to the boat today to sort out what sails I actually had, the sail wardrobe consists of the following:
Mainsail (very good, with sail numbers)
No.1 Genoa (match of the above mainsail)
No.1 Genoa (lighter material, possible original sail)
No.2 Genoa (marked 115%, has reefing point which makes it the same size as the working jib, slight damage which needs repair. also has sewn in battens )
Working Jib ( good, match of no.1 and no.2 genoa)
There are also 2 spinnakers which I didn't pay too much attention to. The No.1 genoa on the sonata is apparently a 150% genoa. I think it may be way too big to keep on roller reefing. I am actually now swaying towards leaving the roller reefing off (for this year at least) and just getting the no.2 repaired and sailing with the hanked on jibs. I actually didn't know I had the No.2 and working jib as they were in a sail bag underneath the spinny.
All the foresails (except the match of the mainsail) have no luffrope but are all fitted with hanks and slides. The slides are too big for my foil and are also the wrong shape being D shaped where I need round.
I honestly think the No.1 will be too much of a handfull for leisure sailing in anything other than light puff.
