Art,

You've been out with me enough to know that sailors don't come any lazier
than me.  

If the wind is less than 5 knots good luck trying to get that giant Genny to
burst over while tacking.  If the wind is more than 5 knots it's fun to fly
the entire 175% on a close reach but it's likely not helping your speed.

I think reefing the Genoa in to less than 120% is easier than getting her
unhung.
