I'm picking up the sport of sailboarding again after a few years of raising a family so I'm wondering on the best possible sail quiver for my new haunt, Wynnum.

After talking to some locals (thanks heaps) that it's pretty common for 10-15 knot winds from 2-3pm, I leaning towards a 7.5 and a 6.0 metre set of sails to suit my 80kg frame.

Is this sound?

Thanks for all replies.

Hey good on you for getting back into it. Wynnum is an awesome spot. I say go as big as your comfortable with up hauling. I think it's better to have more power than not enough. I think a 8 and 6 would be good for your size. 😉
