Greetings,

Well I dumped my overkill Nissan 5hp 4 stroke ( great motor but not for
a p15) and am getting the CDI with Genoa installed tomorrow. Being of
limited sail knowledge, could someone explain to me the difference between a
lapper and a Genoa. Would a Lapper work in a CDI and would it be a better
choice than a Genoa. I am looking to use the same sail (no bow walks for me)
to pick up the light breezes and also reef to make a nice jib replacement. I
will ask the folks at IM but thought I would get some input from you guys
and girls also. Also anyone with oars on p15 could you tell me the best oar
length to get?

Happy Sailing, Dave Lang P15 Hull#554 "Go West"
