Curious to know what most people use all the time.... contemplating a 6.4-6.6m sail purchase...... for a 105 board.

At the moment I seem to be using my 124 ltr board with a 7m sail most of the time....... (looking over the long historical term)....

So thinking a 105 board with a 6.4 - 6.6 sail might be the best sweet spot for 16 - 25 knots of wind..... on the bay.

So what's your common mix? fave?

Cheers advanced

Thanks Martin. It's a 105 FSW board. I weight 85 kg on a good day. Do you notice much difference between a 6.4 nad 6.6? Thinking of the 6.4 Kult.....

Well I can only compare the 3 I use, 6.4 Kult vs 6.6 Koyote vs 6.6 Koncept.

If it,s bump and jump type sailing on a FSW board forget the Koncept.

I like the 6.4 Kult on this type of board. I have been a big fan of the Koyote for bump and jump in the past, great sail, but am now using Kults for this type of sailing as they are lighter and just easier to throw around. If you are just straight line blast then gybe type sailing Koyote is perfect, but if you want to try a bit of tricky stuff then I would reccommend the Kult.
Low end power between the 2 is comparable, Kult maybe a bit easier to pump. Koyote has better top end due to 7 battens and better stability.

Can grab mine any time to try, 6.6 Koyote as well.

This season my 116l freestyle board and 6.1m freestyle/wave sail has been my most used.

For most of the summer seabreeze's Ive been using a 5.8 wave sail on 96 fsw board or 6.2 no cam race sail on 100 L freeride/slalom. I way about 78 kg.
Also there's a bit of a difference depending what part of the bay you sail as far as the seabreeze strength goes.

Though I spent ages looking at it....and analysing it. And wishing that I'd done the same....



My most used combo is 90litre synchro and 5m/5.4m. I weigh 87kg. I could be described as a wind snob.

2002 looked like a killer year.
