Hi,

I need a high volume board for light sea winds (9-14 knots). I want something that starts planning very early and I do not pretend to use it above 14 knots as I will take a smaller board then.

The question is, would a Go 175 suit my light wind planning preferences better than Go 155? would the extra 20 liters be a big difference in that light wind?

My weight is 67kg (147p) and my sailing level is always use harness lines and footstraps, power gybes, water start.

I will use a 7m slalom sail with cambers for that light wind.

Thanks for your opinion
