On my taipan, among other things, we are looking at having spares of a few things, namely daggerboards and rudder blades, made up so that in the event of a breakage, there is a spare ready to go.
currently we have the old style fiberglass rudders and boards, which are looking a bit worn.
are there any intellectual property laws which would be broken if we paid a composite manufacturer to make up molds of our foils, or are we allowed to do this?
also, does anyone have any idea of the cost of this?
thanks,
Alex
