My "finger" is 12.7mm in heavier air, and swells to 25.4mm in light airs, but in the very lightest airs, especially if not too puffy, I might go back down to near 12.7mm.

Just pulling your chain; all this stuff is relative depending on a host of conditions, and one person's gospel is another's hoo-doo. Best to get local help, and lots of experience sailing head-to-head against similar boats, in other than regatta conditions (where winning is the focus, not tuning).
