Is there any flattish water in Mandurah where you don't need a delta?

Yeah, i know there won't be any ultra flat spots, but is there anywhere where a 27+ weedy will suffice on a seabreeze?

Yes, there are flattish spots where you don't need a delta, but you have toork a bit to get to some of them (not all)

We headed to Coodanup today, Anita very kindly lent one of her Fangy fins to try out, which worked a treat in the shallows. She did warn me not to lay on too much back foot pressure, but in all honesty it didn't feel much different to one of my usual weed speeds. Did eventually put the 27 weed speed back in as the tide came up and that worked out ok, but had to stay a bit further offshore, so missed out on the flat water gravy runs all the delta sailors were getting.


I think my friends and I are going to make more trips down there now we've tried it. So we're going to have to invest in some delta type fins. Anyone got some they're looking to move on?

PS: sorry Mark, no nasty groundings today. You'll have to give me some more time to line some work up for you.

Australind is also an option for normal fins, about 90 min drive tho. Wait for westerly storms

I had a great sail on flat water at Liptons (Estuary place) today using a 27 Weedspeed
