Hi Roger

The fin that came with my FF158 is a 70cm Drake Race, which works well with my 9.0m and surprisingly well with my 7.6m as well.

I was out yesterday in nicely to well powered very flat water on my 9.0m and couldn't help feel the 70cm fin was causing excessive drag.

Could you recommend a minimum fin size which doesn't need to get me upwind at all but just allow me to go faster :-) while still being compatible with overpowered 9m to powered 7.6m conditions.

regards,

rod
