Hi Craig, we had some years ago a short discussion on fin sizes...related to that...for my 120l Gecko from 2017, what smallest sail would you think still goes well? Is a 5.5m with a 40 cm fin still doable? Thanks for any feedback! Greetings Marcus
hi Marcus, sure 5.5 will work, maybe drop the fin size to a 38cm?
Thank you Craig, I will try this! I am also not a light surfer, around 90 kg. Does this influence the fin decision? Greetings Marcus
Hi Markus, yes weight but also sailing style/fresh water or salt water/type and size of sail/harness line length (too short creates a lot of pressure on the fin). So perhaps try it first with the 40cm before buying a new fin then.
Hi Craig...some years later :-), the 5.5 m2 works indeed well, and I think the 40 cm fin is good...but where do you see the lower limit for the Gecko 120L? 5.0 m3 sail, or even lower? Greetings Marcus
Marcus1971 Hi there, would love to help, but I am actually out of the windsurfing division since April 2023, so best is to ask at the bottom of the Duotone webpages for info - still windsurfing though! :-)
