I ran test sertificate for 40 sqm spinnaker last season. Difference was 7 in GPH, so 1 per sqm. That is pretty big difference. Most logical option would be "small steps". Maybe my next spinnaker will be 35 sqm.

Update:

So I ordered and have already received North Sails NPL triradial light genoa, obviously have not used it yet, but I have high hopes.
New main will have to wait at least a year. New main and replacing my current G1 (in previous pictures) with med/haevy North triradial. (Note that light G1 I ordered is not meant to replace my old same size G1, rather than complement it, so i will have different cut same size sails for different wind strenght)

I am going to order soon new larger spinnaker also, with target area (ORC) 39 sqm. This was actually simple decision when I found out that I was missing measurement data on my ORC certificate (propeller installation measurements) and running a test cert with data from Charlotta, I found that I could run 41 sqm spinnaker and my rating would stay same with. So i decided to convert this new found rating "gift" into downwind speed, that is one of our biggest weakness.

Our main goal with those optimisations is to win Moonsund regatta.
