Ok, thanks for the imput. Well I'm looking into this sail mainly because it's at a great price and in the size I want.

I think for me having cambers at 5.8m is a good option as this is going to be one of my faster sizes (In stronger winds the water is too choppy to really go fast). I do like to use a GPS to try and go fast and I have a 5.3 wave sail for when the wind is stronger....

So do you think that the cambers/race style (longer boom) make up for the 0.2m lost?

Thanks.
