This seems like a silly question but here's the reasoning behind it:
My daughter uses a starboard kiddy (88l) with a 2.6m sail. She goes out when the wind is around 10 knots.
When she is sailing she requires all my attention but I like to have a sail when she is finished. Not surprisingly, her board is not very exciting for me with a 2.6m sail but sometimes I can't be bothered packing all my gear and rigging up when she is finished. (Very lazy, I know.) I'm thinking I'll go half way and just rig a bigger sail and use her starboard kiddy with the centreboard fin in the tail. It has enough buoyancy for me, just. How big a sail will it be able to carry in light wind?
