Has anyone with a Nash Hybrib 109 or 110 got any advice as to a suitable fin to go with my 7.3m sail. The standard fin that came with it leaves a lot to be desired.

have the 110 and sail it with no bigger than 38 (7.8m sail) and use either a leading edge carbon, tectonic pointer or g10 weed with plenty of chord length. For the 7.3 depending on your size 36 i would say would be optimum in length. the style (pointer or freeride is up to you). I hope that is helpfull.

The one that came with it- 36cm. ok, but I know there has to be better.

I use a 36cm curtis sr6b with a 7.0. Way better than the standard fin - although it whistles loudly. Plenty of upwind peformance with it.

By accident ( caught short of gear at Gerroa one day ) found the Hybid 110 goes really well with a 29 cm JP freestyle wave fin and a 5.3. Apart from its problems associated with being too short its very versatile - and easy to hide in the car.
