Forrest and I were double trap reaching at 3/4 speed on his N20 and hit that sandbar entering the channel to finish Macho Man, tossing both of us in the water from the "full-stop".

Not sure there was any damage to daggarboard other than probably gelcoat. Granted, it was a SAND bar.

But the F18 straight boards are the same construction, and the daggarboar trunks are pretty solid, too.

I would agree with the prior post that if you're considering high-speed sailing in the 'bay' sections up there, you probably should look at something without daggarboards (like and old T with centerboards?). Or not sail full tilt in shallow water...?
