I'm thinking of going for an Prydw RSS Mkll sail quiver of 7.8, 6.2, 5.4 - what do you think? Trying to cut down on the number of sails as I also have wave sails up to 5.8.
I sail in gusty Botany winds (read ****ty this year) and I currently have a Rss 7.8 Mk11 which I'm comfortable with for up to 20knts.
I have a v8 6.5, which would be replaced with the RSS 6.2
I have a RSS 5.8 mk1 which I use occasionaly, replace with RSS 5.4.
So I'm thinking:
RSS 7.8 12 - 20knts on my 111L & 90L slaom boards
RSS 6.2 15 - 25 on my 90 & 80L slalom boards
RSS 5.4 20 - 35 on my 80l slalom
I think it sounds pretty damn nice to have a quiver like that 
I wanted somthing similar but couldn't justify the expense of the new sails and masts... 
My 2c is that I'd probably go for the 5.0 instead of the 5.4. They take the same sized mast (X6 400) and you would have an even spread across your sail sizes as shown below.
7.8m
(26%)
6.2m
(15%)
5.4m
vs
7.8m
(26%)
6.2m
(24%)
5.0m
Id be sticking with your original thoughts Des.
A 7.8, 6.2 and 5.4 would cover you for the majority of winds we get around here.
Would there be much difference in the 5.8 MK I you picked up in Maui to the 5.4 II?
Just my 2 bob's worth.
i went for those sizes when i got my rs4s a few years back
this year i went for 5.5m 6.3m, 7m, 7.6m, might get the 5.9m later
what i found is that the gap from 6.2m to 7.8m was a tad large for racing.. its not nice being underpowered on 6.2m
The thing that is nice with the maui sails tr4 is that the 7m and 7.6 share a 460 mast. :)
I do agree that the 6.2 to 7.8 gap is a bit big, but the RSS does have more bottom end.
I could keep my 5.8m and just go for a 6.7m but that doesn't get over my too many sails dilemma as the old commodore is getting a bit chockers.
Decisions,decisions.! - Grant, you probably right I don't know how much difference there will be between the 5.8mk1 and 5.4mk11, but it's quite nice having the same sails for rigging familiarity. I was thinking that the 5.4 would be for when it's ballistic, and I'd probabaly rarely get a chance to really use the potential of a RSS 5.0m...
