R/C or leave as static model

Damien:
Thanks for the replies guy's.
I'll go with a weighted fin i think 30mm x 3mm thick should do ok, i have some 1/16th alluminium sheet i'll laminate 2 together.

Any ideas for depth of the fin please?  

The main sail measures 190mm on mast edge, 245mm on main boom, 190 mm on upper boom and 250mm on the free edge.
Not a very big sail area and the Jib sail is about 1/4 the main sail area.
This pic will show sail size.

Vintage:

If it's a help - the model in the photos I've posted is 460 mm bow to stern x 185 mm beam.

The brass dagger board / fin is made from 5 mm brass, is 100 mm along it's leading edge & weighs 180 grams.

Mark.
