i have recently got a mistral 55 speedboard and are looking for a suitable weed fin. will prob be used with a sail range around 6.2_7.0. or so and in reasonable shallow and weedy areas. cheers ratz
Rat, I reckon your Vector 25 should work with your 6.2, but 27 would be better for your 7m. I use a Choco 30ws with my CA52 and 6 and 7m sails when it's choppy and it feels pretty comfortable
I too recently got a Mistral 95 Litre 'speed' board. I have tried various fins in the shallow waters at Budgewoi Lake my conclusions are: When it is really shallow (less than 25cm deep) I use an 18cm Delta Slalom, when it is a little deeper and therefore slightly choppier I use a 20cm Lessacher Duo Carbon 55 deg weed fin and when it is really deep (over 50cm) I use a 25cm Vector Speed Weed. I try to use a 6.3 on this board, but often use a 7.0 with the same fin.
Slowboat uses his speedweed 23cm on the Mistral speed 55 and has done high 43kts in peel estuary. I use a pepeweed 22/48 on my mistral speed 55 which has done 41kts in the peel estuary but these are not commercially available.
cheers all thanks for the feedback i will prob try my 25 vector weedy and see how that goes. or get someone to distract pepe while i raid his van. just need some wind now..

Tribal weedspeed and superweed. I'm very happy with my weedspeeds. I'll go superweed when I visit Albany again. Morts in Albany uses these as well as deltas. Not on Mistral speed tho.
