Daggerboard

The total length of the board is 3050mm and the part below the waterline is 1350mm

The rudder blade cut back shown in the left drawing is wrong. It should be cut back on the trailing edge, not the leading edge. So the drawing of the complete assembly on the right hand side is correct. That way the board can be tilted forwards to give a light feel and correct balance.

The mast beam crossing the hull can be inconvenient. So you can finish the beam on the inner hull side as shown in this sketch. Other details are as the standard arrangement. The outer sections of the beams are approx. 900mm shorter than the standard beam
