> What are those finsavers? Can someone describe these things and their function?
A fin-saver is a rectangular nut, with a separate snap-in center piece
that contains the thread for the tigtening screw. If you put pressure
on it, the outside piece slides away from the center piece, thus
"saving" your fin from absorbing the full force of a blow.

A guy from Belgium on our list! Wow, you will have to visit our Bay
during the summer. It's a world-class sailing location.
