How would you like to pass on the info?

Hi Richard,

I can provide a modification for the amount of rocker if you want to set it up for expeditioning with a bit more weight capacity.

Michael

Being about 12′ I feel it’s a stabler platform for the 5 year old 1st mate to learn the art and science of off the beach dinghy sailing.
And I reckon we could do a bit of micro-cruising with a Goose too.
One day though we will build the GIS Yawl….

Howdy Joe,

It is possible, but you lose some of the efficiency of having the foil inboard. I personally think it gives too much away.

I, personally, would rather that the boat stop if it hits something. The efficiency of the dagger setup often means that if you keep the boat moving nicely – not pinching too high – you can sail with little more than a foot of board down. With a decent depth swinging leeboard the area has moved too far aft to get upwind nicely.

But if the water was really really shallow continuously there is little choice. You don’t need much to bolt the leeboard through. Just a thin ply part bulkhead and a 3/4 x 1 3/4 cleat glued to the bulkhead and the side of the boat.

Best wishes
Michael

Would it be possible to have a kick-up lee board?
