Gunther,
At your weight, and with 11-20 knots, I would suggest something smaller than the Carve 131 for your 6.5 m2 rig.
For that wind speed the Carve 111 would seem to me to be the best size for you.
If you get a larger rig (say 7.5m2) you could be planing on the Carve 111 in about 12 knots, and your 6.5 will get you planing in around 14-15 knots.
