I agree. .6 jumps or even .7 jumps are common now. For 125lber I think a
3.9, 4.5, 5.2 quiver would cover just about all you'd want to sail. Start
with a 4.5 and 5.2 and that should cover about 80% of sailable days.
Thanks.

For you, maybe look for a 4.5 and a 5.0 then get either the 4.0 and 5.5
as the conditions warrent. If the season is light wind, you might want
the 5.5 first. >>
I think these numbers are right on except for, maybe, the spacing between
sails. As the sails have improved in their overall range, I have widened my
spacing between sail sizes. I'm running 6.0, 5.2, 4.5, 4.0 instead of 6.0,
5.5, 5.0, 4.5, 4.0. I run one less sail which saves on $ and space. If I were
125 lbs instead of 175 lbs, I'd be tempted to go with a 5.2 and a 4.5 or 4.4
for a two sail quiver... or maybe 5.0, 4.2. When I'm in doubt, I just rig the
big sail and give it lots of extra downhaul. That let's the big sail handle
more wind, but still lets you schlog home at the end of the day.
