do you ride a fin that gives you you a bit more lift than you feel comfotable with and just push your self and that gives you a bit more were it counts. riding the fin as in other topic i think is were the fast numbers are or are or we just crazy!
Stroppo,
It's not really worth worrying about as all you need to sail fast is a decent speed fin and a good steady, flat board trim, but if you must worry have a look at this nightmare discussion. It's full of a lot of hot air so be careful what you believe. Generally I like to believe the fast guys...

Numbers don't lie stroppo, and your numbers are starting to talk for themselves! Whatever you're doing it's working.
Maybe when/if we get better conditions you can do some experimenting with smaller less draggy fins deep down wind, and let us know.
I think the affect may vary with sailing angle.
