Hi team

Is the supplied Drake "R19" fin no good for this board if you want to use it for racing with racing sails (RS 6) in 10-20 knots. how would you rate it compared to a R19 costum in terms of performance,rake, stiffness, etc.

Best regards
Lennart

Hi D49,

The Drake R19 soft -- rake +8cm is a good one for a production fin. You can race with it, no problems, but if you want to increase your performances, the best way to go is the Deboichet R19 soft -- rake + 8cm.
The Drake is a copy under Deboichet licence, but not with the same carbone and this make a big difference. The Custom is more nervous and keep the board higher on the water.

All the best

HI REMI

I have a fin R13m +6 may i have to use that with F161?
and how many knots to use that?

Thank you very much

Hi Konstas,

It's depend of your weight but over 15 knots for sure, the R19 is really fast until 15 knots.

All the best

Hi Remi, i will have the 161 and the Code Red 2 10 and 11, for my weight (68kg) do you think is good the fin wich you recomend R19 S -- Rake 8? I though to buy R13 S 68 R5 and maybe R13 S rake 5 70, do you think that i can compite with 70cm R19 S-- R8 and 68cm R13 S R5 or i need other intermediate fin, like the R13 S R5?
Thanks a lot!

Hi sbaisen,

For light wind until 15 knots, the best way to go is the R19 soft -- rake + 8cm. The F 161 is really wide in the tail so you need a fin much more powerfull. This doesn't means that he will dificult to control it. We valid this fin from rider from 60 to 100 kgs.
If you compare it with your R13 soft rake + 5cm, you will plane earlier and go truth the lulls much more beter and you will keep a very good angle up wind. You will have the same benefits down wind.

For your second fin over 15 knots your R13 soft rake +5cm is ok. The 68 cm must be too small due to the extra widht of this board, maybe in extrrem wind condition but at this time your 10 m will be too big.

All the best

thanks Remi, i think that i will order the r19, but the 68 with nice wind more than 15 knots will faster than the 70 no? i thought that a smaller fin with wind is faster than a bigger. what do you think is better for my weight, 68 or 70 for wind?
hanks a lot
