Reply to: Sailing w/o Daggerboards?

[quote=Andinista][quote=sjmono]Is it possible/advisable to sail a daggerboard cat without daggerboards? I sail in fairly shallow waters and am considering a boat that has daggerboards but am concerned that it will be a major headache. Any thoughts or experience is appreciated. Thanks.[/quote] The general answer is definitely not... Maybe there are specific boats that can actually sail, as stated above, but I'm sure they are rare exceptions.. Now if you use the daggerboards partially down, no more than the rudders, I think the boat will sail, probably even as well as a skeg. Wheter that makes sense or not, the general answer would be no.. I guess it depends on why you are interested in daggerboards in the first place.[/quote]
