I don't get it. I got the standard mast & 175 Genoa
and have never had a probem sailing in 25 knot winds;
see attached file.

Genoa does fine furled up.  I got the rail bury a
little in this pictures but I don't worry about things
like that till the portholes go under the water.  Been
there, done that too!!
