Thanks Dan!

Todd it had a prototype 3rd dagger board that had been plugged. Like Dan said it looked like a huge kidney bean glued on the deck to plug the hole. I left the boat with two dagger boards.

Eric - Many Many years ago I ran the portsmith for G-Cat one year. Here is how it works. You want a lower number then the boats in your market range but not blown away so you fair well in the race. Just enough for Braggin rights over the sales counter.

It has some to do with racing and good sailors do make a difference; but marketing is also a big part of it. You’ve got to remember to the manufactures it is product and how do you push a product? Like I told Bill Roberts once years ago, “Your boat should beat mine it cost three times as much, but can you beat me three times faster? If I paid three times more and got beat by a cheaper boat I’d be pissed!”
