Holy cow, there IS wind on Lake Erie after all (My
home town is Erie, PA). Class rules, which are
adhered to in our 9.1 Lake Michigan Championship
series, allow for three headsails - a #1 up to
155%, a "#2" less than 150% LP and a #3 up to 100%
LP.

Many 9.1 sailors use a #2 of 135 - 140%. But I'm
not sure this LP sheets well on the boat, and I
prefer a "heavy #1" with an LP of 145-150%, shaped
relatively flat - helps to get better acceleration
in chop.
