Can I get by with a 48 cm G-10 Hydrotech weeder which has 105 sq. inches of area? If I need something larger where could I find it?

buy an old formula fin for super cheap and then have it repotted with a steep rake.

Using it for weeds or depth? Why with an 11 meter?

It'll prolly work, but you'll have no upwind ability. I tried one for a downwind race, can be fast, and can spin out at speed. Fun.

if you are sailing in weeds board will not side slip anyway if in kelp and clearwater the 48 should be adiquate unless you are a really big guy then you need custom i got several fins custom from rainbow fin company and still use them.
