Pierre, I have often been amazed to see you sailing the same size sail
as I (at 185#). But I need about 20 knots to plane on my 5.4, and you
should be able to keep planing on a 5.4 down to about 15. If you can
sail that 5.4 up to the 24 knots that I can, then that's great for you,
but it makes your sail size reports less useful to others.
