PHRF Question
Great boats those 727''s. I would seriously doubt that the larger 163% genoa jib would give you a 6 second a mile advantage over a 150% genoa. To begin with as a fractional rig, that 13% represents a very small sail area relative to your overall sail area. And most of that area is on the trailing edge of your jib which is the least effective portion of the sail and acts in lee of your mainsail on reach. I would sooner think that you need a good quality light weight 155 genoa which pretty much should have all of the speed of the 163 but without the penalty.
