Re: [bolger] daggerboards

Thanks. I found it and printed it out. Just what I needed
When the snow stops I'll take some snaps of the hull and post them
and post them, wearing my flame suit.

Sizing Underwater Boards

Derek

All the talk about daggerboards has me curious.

Is there any rule of thumb you can use in the placement and size of same?

I have cut out most of the pieces of a sailboat that I am going to build. it is

eleven ft. six inches long and has a 48" beam. I intend to use a windsailing

mast that I have and a sabot sail that I think is about 50 sq ft.

To be honest, I have just about zero knowledge. I am using the kind of

construction that Dave Carnell used on his $200. sailboat. It is easy

and quick.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

James Fuller
