Hi Robert Nice boat Hamish was building. I hope we see in the future more of the two. To the question of the luff dagger boards. The solution is very logical. The cost no place on the inside (the 5.5

Hi Hamish, When I saw in your pictures that you equipped your ECO 5.5 with two daggerboards instead of one, I also noticed that you placed them on the outsides of the hulls instead of on the inner

Hello David, Thanks for your comprehensive answer. I knew that the strap material I found were made of polyamide (I read the differences). Many years ago, I had been driving model car racing. To
