So during a race last weekend... using the new daggerboard and the older one.
On a reach, not going too fast. Felt a pop and then we just went REALLY slow. Another 6.0 was gaining on us relatively quickly. I was like.. WTF.. Robi was like.. WTF. Considering my recent experience with a broken board I figured I should check out the leeward board (old one) because considering my luck recently, I was sure it had broken in half and we were dragging the bottom half. Pulled up the board and it had delaminated and was basicly functioning as a scoop to slow us down. The bottom 1/3 had come apart at the leading edge. I figured I might try to fix it to use as a backup in the future. BAD luck these days- did I mention a rudder casting broke last week when a storm flipped the boat on the beach ? (spare me the ways to anchor the boat- I know I should have... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> ) and now this. In truth I am suprised nothing broke when we were going through 3-4 foot chop and burying the bows left and right.
Serves me right.. I think I said something about 2 weeks ago to the effect of "my boat is a tank." Screwed myself there <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
