I did rip of my fin on the shallows at KFC (Gold Coast) and attempted to sail back without.
Fortunately it was after day speed sailing upwind and all I needed was to sail straight down wind a kilometer or two.
I must say;
doable but possibly I need more training or learn some tricks.
- i did try to attach my harness underneath and it helps a lot but quickly a but quickly slide off and pop up
Did you try to sail without the fin and has some tips ?
Funny is that i didn't have to worry about shallows anymore

skimming above without any fin ..
BTW is it worth ( or even possible) to glue it ( fin) back?
