I am interested in getting more performance in light winds, and was considering either a larger Genoa (135%) or a G-0 gennaker. Any input regarding the pros and cons of each? Conard  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p> Hi Conrad, A G-0 (Cruising Code 0 asymmetric ) will have a bigger impact on your boat&#8217;s performance in light winds on any angle except hard on the wind. The self-contained furlers work well in light and moderate conditions so deploying the G-0 will require less effort than changing headsails. The 135% would be a better choice if you sail in a predominantly light wind area and are looking to improve upwind performance. In that case you would probably be using the 135 as your primary headsail, only switching to the 100% on rare, windy days.
