Nah - different benefit there. The problem with forward mounted daggerboards is that they are so far away from the rudders that they, in effect, make the turning radius of the boat very large...makes it difficult to tack quickly and efficiently. Over the last several years, we've seen (in F18 and A-class) the Daggerboards get located further aft...closer to the rudder. It makes the boat very twitchy but it tacks very quickly.

I'm lost on the whole gybing daggerboard thing - I thought they did one thing (point slightly to windward to help the boat climb to weather better) but after looking at the infusion boards, I realized they did the opposite of that...so I don't know what they do...I don't have a boat with them so I haven't been overly concerned about it!
