Re: Info advice on mast extension, foot, and boom please???

Rob,
while 6.5 and 7.5 are common sizes, you could find that on a VERY 
light wind days, the gap between those 2 is relatively small (think 
% difference - not huge) Perhaps 6.5 and some 8.X would  be better..

Over at my (often too quiet) lake many sailors use 8+ or 9+, or even 
11+ sails! As long as you could uphaul one...

If you are buying the 6.5 first, get a boom that just covers that 
size and spans as much as possible towards the larger sail to keep 
options open. No boom will cover all sizes from 4m to 9m, so you'll 
end up with 2 booms eventually, the other one dedicated to small 
sizes (less that 6.5).

For sail sizes google "sail quiver gap calculator" - will help 
optimize your picks

good winds,
Marek
