Fin-tastic


Wonder if there are different fins for different weed conditions? The top fin is the True Ames Blade Weed, which has much more angle (5 degrees to be exact) than the bottom fin, which is the True Ames SB Weed. The sharper the rake of the fin, the more weeds it will shed, so if you sail in a really weedy place, the Blade Weed is the one to get. If you want more upwind ability and don't have a lot of weeds (ie some floating sea grass), the the SB Weed that is more upright is the way to go.
