If you have no spinnaker at all get a spinanker. If you already have a symetric and no roller furling get the 135% genoa. Here's my thinking.

- If you don't have a downwind sail you need one. White sails only downwind is frustrating and slow.
- If you don't have furling, the 150% will be overpowered a lot of the time. A 135% will be able to stay up longer and give a nice performance kick over the 110%
- If you have roller furling get the 150% and furl it when you need to which will be more often than you think.

If it were me I would only have roller furling and I would have a 150% and a storm jib.
