The Windsurfer LT 5.7 Sail is a windsurfing sail by Starboard. Like wings, sail size is critical: too big will overpower you, too small won't carry you. Sails are categorized by use (freeride, race, wave, freestyle) and each category has its pressure profile and planing characteristics.
Sail size reference guide (freeride windsurfing):
| Wind | Rider 65-75 kg | Rider 75-90 kg |
|---|---|---|
| 10-15 knots | 7.0-8.0 m² | 8.0-9.5 m² |
| 15-20 knots | 5.5-6.5 m² | 6.5-7.5 m² |
| 20-25 knots | 4.5-5.5 m² | 5.5-6.5 m² |

How we recommend it at El Niño Mallorca. For versatile use in the bay, a set of 5.5 + 6.5 m² covers most sessions. If you race or do race-specific sailing, dedicated race sets (6.0/7.0/8.0) are more efficient. For waves, wave sails of 3.7-5.0 m².
