I came really late to the party yesterday . It was around 1 PM when I finally got on the water and was able to make just one run with the 5.8 before the wind dropped and fortunately stayed at 10-20mph WSW. I rigged up the 7.5 and had a decent 3 hrs of sailing all by myself because the early birds left. I may have used a 6.5 in the first half, but the brand new; bright orange 7.5 had just too much of appeal and at max downhaul I never felt like being too much overpowered anyway.
