Out of 4 Ezzy infinitys I find that the 6 meter is the pick of the bunch.Has anyone found that every sail make has an exceptional sail in its range or is this just because the 6 meter in the appropriate winds is very manageable and therefore becomes the preferred choice.Any coments as to your choices?
Normally that is the case. One sail size is tested a lot as the conditions favour it, and other sizes are scaled up / down from that. Further, a longer boom (relative to luff) is better in lighter winds and a shorter is better in windier conditions. There are lots of similar aspects to sail design, so you'll find (for example) that the ratio of luff to boom (chord) may change a little from bottom to top of a sail line.
The other major factor is mast length as you may have 5 sails but two masts... two or three of those sails will be ideal but the others will be a little tiny bit of a compromise.
That's why there will alsways be a sweet spot. For me in wave sails it is my 5.0.
i love my 4.2 NP combat. i really love smaller sails because it usually means that its really wild when ur using them!! and i think u feel more free using a small sail. i find it easier to do tricks and gybe with a smaller sail too.
Definately my 5.0m Sailworks Revolution on my 83 Newwave in 20+ knots side shore, ahh the memories, my nipples are going hard just thinkin about the joy..
