Help on new 6.5 to 8.5 sails

by Solar Man <solarhybrid1@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 11, 2008 at 08:59 AM

It's time to retire my 1999 vintage Pryde 6.7 Supersonic and 8.0 V8.
I'm looking for replacements for a JP X-Cite Ride 120 to be used
primarily at Cabrillo in Los Angeles.  One thing for sure: no cams!  I
weight 200 pounds and am 48 years old.  Key wants are handling, wind
range, low-end planing ability.  A typical sailing day for me is
blasting around in choppy ocean water, doing 3' chop hops.  One more
detail, I have a Pryde NR 5.8 for the high wind end of this board's
range.  Here's some of the choices I've come up with:

Ezzy Freeride 8.0 and 6.5
Ezzy Freeride 8.5 and Ezzy Wave SE 6.9
Sailworks Retro 8.0 and 6.5
Sailworks Retro 8.0 and Hucker 6.6
Pryde Hellcat 8.2 and Zen 6.7
North Natural 8.1 and 6.6
Severne Gator 8.0 and 6.5

I'd sure like to hear from anyone who's doing similar sailing and has
experince with these sails.

Is there really that much difference between sails brands at this
point in time?  Is the 8.5 a bit much for this board?  OTOH, is a 6.5
too close to the 5.8 I already have?
