Hi Kent, I was a happy sailor when my wife bought a new jib sail for Pathfinder, for Christmas. I found that the 120 was ideal for winds 8 - 18 knots. She knew I wanted a deck sweeper to keep the pressure low in the high range. Plus it was enough sail to keep you moving in the light range. As far as single hand it was much easier that the 155 and I found it very easy to tack by myself. Couple of wraps and maybe a quick crank if I needed to point. I hope this helps........ed
