@DonPedro1990 I see what you mean about the vertical pessure from the flexed fin. Yes, the tip area will add some assistance in that way. The only problem I see is that rigidity in a carbon fin comes with extra thickness, so everything is a compromise. Extra thickness or area adds weight too, and will obviously increase drag. But the best pointing will always be from a longboard (non planing) with dagger and fin together, and obviously a specialized hull shape too. Starboard Serenity ? B¬)

@wordreet Not so sure about that - going upwind the waterflow is slower and consequently you will want the extra vertical lift of the flexing fin to stay on the plane. Besides, making a really rigid fin is easy.

If it was more rigid it would go upwind better.

thats crazy but it makes perfect sense

I'm surprised that it flexes in that direction. Thank you for uploading this.
