I am looking for a slalom/freerace sail in about the 8.5m size to use on my Hypersonic 105.

First priority is to maximise early planning and second is stability when overpowered. I don't really like pumping my Hypersonic too much so I would like a sail that can get going without much help from me.

I believe that sails with cams would be more stable than a cam-less sail but I am unsure how cams relate to a sails early planing.

Also, would a Formula type sail in this size be suitable for my needs ?

Thanks in advance for your advice
