Hi and thanks for the info. Based on what I've read, I was already
thinking of something around 150l. I am pretty good getting up on the
board, so I don't need a raft, but I also don't want to make things
overly difficult for me in chop. How much of a difference is there
between 150 and 160??? As for sails, I had planned on getting 2-3. If
I got 2, any opinions on what sizes? (I see you mentioned 8.5 and 6.3--
would there be any further thoughts on why these two sizes would be
ideal. What if I were to go with 3 sails? Then what sizes do you
think?) Cheers. -Rob
