I am actually very happy with how my boat sails. The cost of new daggers from Hobie is more than I what I can have them made for. If I am having them made it would be no big deal to make them a foot or so longer. I was just curious what performance gains or loses there would be. I have to agree with an earlier post that the increased drag would probably out way any increase lift. As for the boat it is what it is. I enjoy tinkering as much as I do sailing. Thats is why I like this platform. It really hasn't been about the money. It has been about the experience. Performance wise the boat is great. In some conditions the F18's and I20 struggle to stay ahead, as proven this last weekend. In other conditions the F18's and I20 wish I would hurry up and finish so that we can get the next race on.
