Would it be acceptable per the class rules to have another appendage in addition of the rudder and daggerboard? I'm thinking some kind of retractable T-foil attached to the underside of the rear beam. This would make the T-Foil and the rudder independent of each other... Start from the beach, pass the surf, lower the T-Foil. The opposite on the way back.

Mmm, maybe it such an appendage would impact tacking because of the lateral drag it can generate during turns... It could have an interesting effect on weather helm as well. Not to mention what happens when you get a hull out of the water, I guess the appendage would have to be fairly long, or swinging from side to side...

Probably a stupid idea anyway <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
