For most people, this would work great, *if* the helper can find
you again. You would have to plan to either keep trying to sail
without a fin or periodically raise your sail up for someone to
find you.

For me, I did not have much hope of someone finding a fin for the 1993
Tiga 2-screw finbox (not to be confused with the 1995 1-screw Tiga box
nor the box Tiga uses today).

No luck getting a boat to go out there today. I hope I can get out for
the board tomorrow.
