175

The Rhodes 22 has an older sail plan with a smallish main and a big genoa. We've often said our next one will be 135 or 150 but then we have one of those rare but glorious 8 to 10 knot Chesapeake days and it is absolutely right for the boat. It's really wrong when furled way down in a blow. Even with the luff pad, the shape is bad. We're now toying with the idea of a smaller sail - maybe 135 for spring and fall sailing with the option use the big sail in the summer. We're so undecided that I can't answer your "if you could change it right now" question. We sail more than some folks but we'll turn on the motor when we want to get some place at a reasonable hour.
