As well as using my new Kona, I am trying to get back into slalom sailing. Now I have found with the sessions that I have had so far this year that I have not been sailing well. It has got me thinking about whether I use too big a sail (for my ability). I have put together the following table for a number of sources and I am going to see how this compares to what I would normally rig up when I am next out.
Wind (knots) Slalom Sail Sizes Board
6-10 8.8 135
10-16 8.0 - 8.8 135
16-21 7.3 - 8.0 110
21-25 6.0 - 6.6 110
25-31 6.0 95
31+ 5.5 95

I think we always have used too big a sail, I still use too big in waves...
