Thanks Geoff & Chrissie and DavidH

Taking both your suggestions into account, I’m thinking of getting a 130% roller reefing Genoa, so that I can reef it back into a Gibb and Baber haul it, combined with the storm sail for upwind.

While sailing into San Diego with the wind coming straight out to sea I noticed we where actually tacking backwards! Doesn’t say much for my tacking ability, but I’ve definitely got to solve this problem considering the hairy moments we had with the break wall.

DavidH you mentioned you lengthened the mast. Looking at you other posts I assume you did this yourself? Do you have a rough estimate of the cost? Just finishing repainting my 27 and am still reeling from sticker shock!
