Sailing is a weather dependant sport and everyone knows you can not depend on the weather.

ALWAYS choose your equipment for the versatility and abity to perform in the widest possible range of conditions.

If you are playing the numbers game and can change equipment like a recreational windsurfer changes sail size as the wind varies through the day, OK. If you are planning for a week or longer event well off into the future, selecting equipment for a narrow performance band will be a big mistake more times than not.
