If you have asymmetric dagger boards, you'll have to gybe/adjust them on each tack... With one person on an Acat its going to add time to your tack... and I think that you'll find that its slower... vs any advantage you gain using them (symmetric or not)...

I would work on getting things more simplified as opposed to more complicated...


Angled symetric daggerboards are almost as efficient as asymetric daggerboards and tack by themselves when properly designed. It is quite simple, actually. Take a look at Gybing Heads

This is a proven go-fast resource that has been in use for the last forty years in the Penguin class in Brazil (gybing centreboard). I read somewhere that the 505 class also use it.

There's no reason why an A Class wouldn't benefit from the same.

All the best,
