All, I want to add a turn fin to my Starship.
I can someone tell me what the placment should be?
In the past other riggers I have seen placed it at the center of ballance, but this is a unique design.
I know that they sell one, but I wanted to fabricate my own.
Thanks for the help.
Larry

Two or so centimers in front of the CofG.

Eric, Thanks!!
Is that the front, mid, or rear of the turn fin that is 2 cm in front of the Center of Gravity?

It is the mid-section of the turnfin I am hinting at. :cool2: Please post a videa-clip when it is back on the water.

Thanks Salr.
Glad to see ya on here.
I wanted to make my own CF bracket, and reuse a sweet little turn fin I have. So, I was looking for the dimensions of where to place it.
Do you have any picks you can post?

I love this hull.
