Guys,

Were are overlooking the Stealth F16's (that do have high aspect boards for a long time now) and the fact that the new Vectorworks Marine Blade F16's also have high aspect boards now.

These are still not as long and skinny as the F18 boards, nor do I think we want that, but they do have an aspect ratio of 4 now which used to be 2 in the past.

Still I haven't found the lower aspect boards to be signifinant worse (or better) then the high aspect ones yet. The low aspect boards are surprisingly well suited to the F16's. Still I expect in time for the high aspect ones to get a little ahead.

If you look at the Alter Cup 2007 pictures then you'll see the new daggerboard design on the blades.
