[quote=tamumpower1]You can sail without boards on any point of sail besides close winded. The helm will be stiffer because you dont have a board to pivot around but it's no big deal. I sail shallow's all the time and the only time it's a pain is if I have to go through a channel straight upwind because of how much the boat slips. I found however that 1/3-1/2 board down seems to be the same as full down in a medium amount of wind.
When it gets really shallow just let the rudders pop up and steer with the sails. Don't keep putting the rudders down, just play with the main and you can usually get where you are going.[/quote]
