Not as good as epoxying carpet in, but takes very little time, isn't messy, and is dirt cheap to do. Even if you have to replace it once a season there isn't much time involved replacing it the same way.

Posts: 756 Newport, RI | Uli! Aps sell this white carpet type stuff with adhesive back. I put this on my infusion and 2.5 years later it's still going strong. It made the board tight enough that I never had a need to install those stupid rubber things that keep the board up, the board stayed up on it's own. It was a bit tight unless the board was lubed up (that's what she said!) but what you can do is take a razor and buzz it down a bit. It holds much less sand than regular outdoor carpet and when it does it gets burried so it doesn't affect the board as much. You'll have to scroll down, to V15 Daggerboard Carpet. Once you click the part number the picture goes away or i would have given you the direct link http://www.apsltd.com/c-2868-v15ruddertilleranddaggerboard.aspx | | | Re: Daggerboard trunks: What to stick in there (Infusion MK1)

Posts: 93 | We can laugh now, but honestly, in 30 years of sailing I have never never had a better fitting, stiffer, smooth running daggerboard trunk/gasket. That said, we would never would have done it this way if we did not have to go to the MKII boards, and I will never do it again.
