Have sailed the Loft 02's for the majority of the last season being a 6.6 and a 7.4 on a 110 lt JP and a 91 lt JP on SDM PowerX.
Have found these sails very forgiving and light on the hands/arms to use. I did unfortunately get the 7.4 caught in a shore break prior Christmas which has modified (stretched it a tad)(thanks too Bud for sending me replacement battens for only freight costs)
Ran the 7.4 on a 110 lt at Hardies yesterday when the standard winter winds came through, 10 knots to 25 knots. Except for a few seconds, most times the sail was accommodating, and didn't try to belt me around (well not too much) Think anything over 25 or staying up in that range would test the best but it handle the gust without too many issues. Had a few scary moments on launch when the sail was wanting to go, but the board was stuck on the water but other than that, a good well rounded toy.

Mineral,

just ordered the 7.4 after jamming my head through my V8 (dumb newby)

Cant wait to get it as theres plenty of wind here this week.

Looks like a nice sail, it appears it will have some windrange as you/someone stated which suits me. Im like a kid waiting for Santa.
