When you find out, tell Windsufering because he needs another "f".
Where is windwarning/windtechno/windsurfing/flipper now days ?. I miss his salty anecdotes embellished with a 
on the end of them.
Hey Magic, fill up your camel with this stuff, will keep you warm on the water and for a couple of hours with the missus after

Hey Magic Ride, what is the highest wind that you can still ride your Starship 115 reasonably under control? and what is the smallest sail you have used with it?
The most wind I will usually take that board in would be 24 knots of wind with my 5.2 Ezzy Legacy wave sail using a MFC 27cm wave fin. It sailed beautifully at Hood River in those conditions with that setup. As gusty as the wind can be their, the 115L just planes right through the lulls. The 5.2 sail is the smallest I own right now. When I move to the Gorge, I will need to purchase a 4.7. There's a guy at the Gorge who uses a 4.7 on his 115L Starship and loves that setup. So he's gotta be sailing in a 25 knot wind range with the 4.7.
One board solutions are great but such a compromise. If you were able to stick with the 5.2 and use a 90/95 litre board as things get over twenty knots, I think you would enjoy things more. Can always detune the 5.2 with a lot of downhaul. A 94 kode would be a fun example.
I hear ya Sparky,
Most days here on Klamath Lake, I would be on my 6.8 sail, next is my 6.0 and last I would use of my 5.2 sail. So my 115L suites me good here. But when I move to the Columbia Gorge, my 5.2 will be my most used sail their, so yes I will purchase probably a 70-80L board for my 5.2 and buy a 4.7 and 4.0 sail to start my high wind quiver.

Livin the life we can only dream about Magic.
Ill even put up with that cold water,
Is there a room in your house for me and my missus if we come for a visit ?
I bring beer 
You will have to check it out sometime. The water is starting to warm up now. Almost in the 60s. At end of June, water here will be in the 70s. Board shorts season

Mabe a starship 90 would be a good option.

You obviously know how much I love the Starship, but for the high wind sailing, probably something more in the wave oriented category than the Starship, but that won't be until at least 3-5 years from now anyway.
