For my first (learning) sail, I purchased a Severne 6.5m Gator but am finding it's over powered for 12m/s + (23 knots) conditions (Zushi beach, Japan). Hence, I am in the market for a smaller and durable (still learning) sail around 5m to 5.3m that is matched to my size (188cm 82kgs) and won't grow out of as I get better.
I'm thinking about the Severne Blade but as I'm nowhere close to wave sailing yet, I'm having doubts as to whether this is the right selection. Would appreciate recommendations for make and models of other sails that readers may have.
