mini CURVED fins

Just talking then with a forum member, got me thinking…

has anyone made little curved fins [ie: side fins for a thruster] ?

I made bigger wood ones but they snapped at the fcs tabs [luckily not the plug pullout!]

I’d like to do fibreglass, but thought rather than risk heaps of expense to perhaps snap a fin, I’d go smaller [less cloth and resin ] first.

I’d be interested to hear if anyone has made these already, and how you felt they performed ?

  thanks !

ps- I’ll be using them in my 5’11 fish, and I was thinking fin size along the lines of about 2 1/2-3" base, same depth…

Al Dove is the man to talk to about curveys.

I have made several sets including curved Superchargers.They worked, but not my cup of tea.

Go for it.Who knows, you just might add the right twist to it and create a whole new revolution!Herb

I surf…therefore I am.

Herb, what size were your superchargers ? Were they glassons?

…do you have any photos, by any chance, I’d be keen to see them…

What didn’t you like about them ?

What would you change if you made them again ?

Were they solid glass ?

sorry for all the questions… I’m just curious to learn any pitfalls or shortcomings to try and avoid, and of course, what felt GOOD about them too !

 thanks !
