It is somewhat more performance oriented but both the Taipan and Blade designs (Formula 16) have daggerboards that only extend 550 mm (= less then 22 inches) below the keel line. The daggerboards go therefor only slighty deeper then the rudderboards (about 18 inches).

Walter,


Why do the daggerboards kick up like the rudderboards?

What happens if you hit some something shallow with the daggerboards?

What is the worst case scenario?

Thanks,
