Thoughts on an Aerotech Phantom 7.5?
Currently my big sail is an Ezzy Cheetah 8.0. Love its smooth power and durability. Don't like its weight and handling in the waves.

Can I ask how much you weigh? I'm looking for something in that size range and I'm 200+ lbs.
I have a Blast 130 (and a 3s 116) and sail on Lake Huron, 180lbs.
Always looked for that same magic ... |

Where I sail we get really tough shorebr ... |
