Another question on board choice for beginner

[Ken]

I have recorded all my sailing outing for the last 4.5 years, including gps readings (top speed, average speed, distance and time). Below are some of my stats from 2009 when I sailed 66 days. This will give you an idea of "my typical conditions".

Sail sizes and number of times used (there were a number of occasions where I used more than one sail during a day, but I just recorded the most used):

11.0 = 9
9.2 = 15
8.4 = 5
7.6 = 10
6.6 = 17
5.7 = 6
5.0 = 1
4.5 = 2
4.0 = 1

Boards and number of times used (there were a number of occasions where I used more than one board during a day, but I just recorded the most used):

Starboard Formula 160 - 30
Starboard iSonic 111 - 26
Hi Fly Move 105 - 9
Tiga 263 - 0
Mistral Superlight - 1

Number of days with winds gusting over 23 mph (20 knots) - 24
