I have an original genoa in dacron and a new drifter in nylon. I use the drifter far more than the genoa for light air. Once the wind picks-up I use the Jib. I can send photos if you need them. BTW, Pat, your arrangement for leading lines aft worked well on my boat. I did not need to go aft at all on my last sail.
