Nice work Hatdz, Pension next year woo hoo

Happy birthday Hardzman 

Surprised you guys got a sail,  I was watching the wind here and checking Seabreeze graphs with no joy, ended up going to the beach at 3.45 just in case but it was lucky to be 10 knts 

Rogerisaw you out on my snotgobbler taxi runs back and forth this arvo - you certainly looked to be cruising around happily when I saw you. And that's a real nice PB for an hour in today's breeze! Well done 

Cap'n, happy to hear the fillet worked for you - now just keep sanding that cut-out  ( John I have a demo fin here, or you can pinch the other one off Pas when he isn't looking - but be warned they are deceptively grunty for their size :-)

Firie I measured 15 to 18 at liptons after my sail. There was plenty of wind at Avalon, Pas said there wasn't much at Halls head either.

Jonski, here's my fin.

Fangy's idea, he's created 3 aliminium versions that a few people have tried and been impressed with them. Pepe has made a very close clone of Fangys fins in Carbon and says it also works well. Instead of copying fangys design I've just added  filetts to one of my 55deg fins I wasn't all that happy with.

It looks a lot like the way we used to stick fins onto surfboards in the old days.

I have my own theory about what's going on here, but can't think of a way to test it.

But my feeling is, that it's only worth doing on big heavily raked fins.

Thanks Ross, I certainly wasn't expecting any pb,s today. Saying that, I didn't stop at all and never fell in. As I was on my own 😞 there was no on to stop n have a chat with.

Iwouldn't mind trying the fangyfin in the cruise ship one day please Ross. The delta wasn't doing it for me today.

That's good speed for big gear. I know I haven't used them much yet but when I get up around 30kn with the deltas they seem to want to keep changing the direction of the board and hard to keep in a straight line. Weird feeling.

Congrats on a nice hour PB in light conditions Roger

Last I heard Pas had two fangy fins

Thanks Mike. Was just enjoying cruising around, all be it sideways quite often.

Not sure if I know Pas yet, but if he wants to let one go for a while I'd love to try it.

Thanks stroppo. Good speed on the big jp yesterday mate. I was gutted I couldn't make it.

      Congrats on the Bday Hardie,!!!        

  And a happy PB to U Roger,!!!      uhmm,,..????  sorry,.. thats the other way rownd, !!!!      

   Yes I have one fangy fin for a tutle box, I handed the other back to Ross, so I'm happy to hand it to anyone who wents to

take it out for a spin.        Roger, I think we did meet at liptons.

Apologies for forgetting your name Pas, I do that equally for everyone. Next time I'm at liptons I would love to take it for a spin. Thanks

Congrats Roger, very nice hr pb for yesterday 

I've put a couple of photos up on the Breeze from Thursday
