I recently had the opportunity to try out some new gear with Red Denning at one of his local spots - Lake Coonewarre, 20mins out of Geelong and 1 hr 15mins from Melbourne. The conditions were ideal, 18kts southerly, flat water, sunshine and 2km runs. Having a collection of Vector Fins for the bay it was great to try out weed fins and I wasn't disappointed, sailed nicely powered up on the Sailworks Retro 7.5m and a Vector Rockit 38cm weed for 2hrs +. The fin characteristics are closely matched with the vertical variety and we proved this on the gps with many runs at 33kts. Thanks Red, next stop will be swan bay.
