We are about to order a new genoa from North Sails. The choice stands between Radian (Radial) and 3Di. 3Di is a little bit more expensive with the advantage as we see it of not having any seams and thus not having to be restitched as we just had to do with the main sail which is Radian. If there was only one choice there would be no problem making the right one.

The sail will be used cruising US east coast, Bahamas, Caribbean and at least one ocean crossing. Now, what is the opinion of this experienced group ? Should we go for the newer 3Di or the more traditional Radian? Is there any one here sailing sailing with 3Di?
