Sailed Coyote Sunday. Rigged a 6.0 (9', 100L, 165lbs) and was on
the water around 3pm. The 6.0 was the right call, since I comfortly
planed. Wind picked up, and the 6.0 felt too big, but I was too
tired (and too skeptical) to rig down. I got about 1.5 hours on
the water--- until I was too tired to move--- the whole time going
faster than I knew how. Certainly my small board and a smaller sail
would have been more appropriate, but I had an excellent time anyways.
It was the best day I've had in months. :)

BTW I was sailing a 1999 Pryde Supersonic. Its a Z1 shape, but with
no cams. As the wind picked up, I was overpowered, but the sail wasn't.
Cool sail.
