Just want to start with saying that the daggerboards for these boats are TERRIBLE!
They flex too much, chip to easily, are poorly built, and break for silly reasons.

Does anyone else share my frustration?

I've talked to some foil builders and they can't believe how crappy and cheapl these boards are. The bonding is terrible, there is no epoxy used, and very little carbon.

I broke a daggerboard on my boat in just 2 months and I just saw a board completly separatate after a fairly low speed impact with a rock.

Has anyone out there found a solution? New builder? cheap fix?

My boards also look like they have been used for 5 years when they have only been used in about 5 regattas. They have chips all over and are already hooked.

I'm loosing sleep over this!

The new boats are also coming with little notches in the back of the well to fit carpeting. My boat came in the same container as some of these and doesn't have this.
