Standard Laser Rig for Spindrift 11N

[Dwilly]

I am currently still in the process of building a Spindrift 11n. 
I had seen a number of posts stating that a Laser rig can be used in place for of having to build it all. 
I have acquired a standard ILCA 7 sized rig and upon putting the mast together it looks very large. 
My question is will the S11 be overpowered by the standard laser rig? Would I be best to look to getting a radial rig?
I have seen that people say you can reef the laser sail by rolling a few turns around the mast? Or could I even modify the standard laser sail by sticking a slab reef into it?

The Laser radial is just about the same size as the Spindrift 11' sail.

I think rolling the Laser sail while underway would be a trick. I think you could work out a reef by cutting the sleeve similar to the Spindrift sail. You could open the head to raise and lower the Laser sail with a halyard. The single line reefing works.

As Tim says, the Radial is a better fit. You're looking for just over 6m² sail area. I think the luff and foot measurements are very similar as well. 

Another rig that is a close match for dimensions is the Zuma.

Personally I think the sail area is fairly generous. For a few years I was using a 5.5m² windsurf rig and it seemed like the right amount of sail for my tastes- but I use the Spindrift as my daily driver so capsizing isn't an option. 

I'm now using a 4.3m² standing lug sail and it is definitely a bit underpowered.
