Hey Kit, would you like to share the fin positions on the quad fish?  Interested, as i have done a few of these with quite different fin positions and would like to compare.

Gidday Mark,

Fins are at 6" and 11"
Rears 1 1/2" off the rail, zero cant, 1/8" toe-in.
Front 1 1/4" off the rail, 4 deg cant, 1/4" toe in.

I set them up like this as the guy may want to try some canard fins in it, and this seemed like a good general setup for that.
At the moment it has normal raked fins, single foils, with the trailers being shorter in the base and shallower, so a bit smaller in area.
Seems to go ok!
Fish fins setups seem to vary so much.... everyone is doing something different, so I thought i'd shoot for the middle.

Some paulownia for yas to drool over, the longest is 10'.
