Has anyone had any experience of using a Blade Jib on a 235.

I am looking especially for an improvement in strong winds, i.e
- can you carry them in stronger winds?
- is there less weather helm.?
- If I have only the jib up I get a small amount of lee helm with the normal jib in string winds, it would be nice to have a sail which didn't have this lee helm.
- As you reef is the track long enough so that the sheeting angle can be maintained or does it run out of track?

In short does anyone recommend them?

Jim,

Did you make any further enquiries into this, or buy one? I too am interested in a smaller jib.
