147 and fins????

[<Allan>]

Hi Sukhdev,

Any luck with the fin testing yet?  I have got hold of a 67cm R14 what do u think as a change down fin for my 9.8 and 8.7?? I weigh 85kgs.

Also a friend on mine has a few debs for sale, after he has tested which one he will keep for his 147 with a 12.2 m sail.

I reckon he may let me have the R13 70 M+, what do u think for me using it with a 10.9, or is it worth holding out for a R13 70H??

First impressions of board out of bag is that its going to be a lovely board to sail, however disapointed that it didnt come with its fin and that it will follow on shortly.

Cheers Allan

Alan, no luck yet, wind has been horrible, bouts of rain and occasional gusts, hopefully when this bleak spell clears I'll give it a go. I've got a 70deb, 77deb, 66deb, 70hurricane all lined to test against the stock fin; we are also trying to do some crude flex and foil measurements to give some comparison. Hope to have something up soon.
