Hang on, I just had a rush of blood to the head and figured out I need a 38cm which is what I use on my screamer ( board not wife) so I will give that a go
6.6 sail = 35 cm fin by the formula, but the moral of the story is take a couple of fins and try them to see what works...
Don't think the wind will be much above 15 knots for me tomorrow, 100 k's is a long way to slog 
Hope it's blowing for you!
Cant make it 2morrow 
have a sail for me 
Fin size also depends on what angle to wind you are sailing ie square or broad (smaller). Seriously thinking of getting some better fins 
Yeah Nebs, take many and experiment.
yeah mate 35 is right i got my calculations wrong.35 kms an hour is not too much to ask as long as it blows
Slog, slog slog
I only managed 32 k's worth, 99.9% of this was slogging 
The nose repair held though, and the GPS holder worked really well. No spikes whatsoever

Oy Troppo, I don't remember seeing you on the Team SEQld list! Can't go giving away my secrets to the opposition you know! 
Hmmmm... OK but only 'cos you asked nicely...
I made an armband thing with a zipper and velcro that is custom-sized for a NAVI inside an Aquapak. Very comfortable to wear, and exactly the right size

can't make it guys,
it's my daughter's birthday and then i got a bucks night later on.
My forecast comes from a very "glass-half-full" approach to weather forecasting, ignoring all predictions that don't meet with what I would like to see, and generally hoping for the best
You're right though, it may be a little light
I'm still keen to put some runs on the board though!
i'm goin sunday hopefully. so if someone else gets out we'll get some times.
also, hs anyone got any other times from this month for the spreadsheet?
No times from me. Can't go this weekend either. Hopefully something will come just after June 10....RS Racing 6.7 will arrive. Another knot or two just from knowing it's faster than the ye old V8.
Also ripping into a few extra winter wines and brews to get heavier. It works well 85 kgs.
Nah tried it once
. Totally lack the patience. Leave it to those who do well I reackon. But there is whole new topic. brewers and non brewiers. A debat few ever agree on.
