Fin plug for a water craft

A composite foam and fin plug assembly for a water craft, said composite foam and fin plug assembly including:

• a fin plug having a top surface and at least one fin cavity for receiving a base element of a fin, said at least one fin cavity extending inwardly from at least one opening in the top surface;
• a first foam layer overlying said top surface, said first foam layer including at least one aperture aligned with, and forming an opening to, said at least one fin cavity;
• and
• a second foam layer which with the first foam layer, at least one of sandwiches and encapsulates the fin plug;
• wherein the first foam layer couples to the top surface, and
• wherein the first foam layer forms a surface for bonding with an overlying glass layer of the water craft when the composite foam and fin plug assembly is installed in the water craft.

A composite foam and fin plug assembly for a water craft, said composite foam and fin plug assembly including:

• a fin plug having a top surface, with an external perimeter surface about the top surface, and at least one fin cavity for receiving a base element of a fin;
• said at least one fin cavity extending inwardly from at least one opening in the top surface;
• and
• a foam body having a cavity corresponding to the fin plug in which said fin plug is positioned, said foam body also including a peripheral ridge which extends about the external perimeter surface of the fin plug to form the composite foam and fin plug assembly;
• wherein the peripheral ridge of the foam body couples to the external perimeter surface of the fin plug.
