My son with guidance from me made a new daggerboard for our sunfish. It was a fun project to do with him and teach him how to use a variety of tools in our garage. I think it came out really nice. Next up a new rudder.

Yeah, we might cry the first time it is banged into something.Wow. I would just hang that on the wall. Too beautiful to sail with!
Thanks, it is a packed garage. Haven't had a car in it ever. My wife isn't super happy with that.Very cool, love that garage...
I can't read the text in the photo where he's looking at the rough sawn lumber - did you use mahogany? If not, what type of wood?
You know, that is a nice piece of work. It is great to see a young man who learns how to build things rather than spending all day on social media. It would perform a little better if the edges were shaped into more of a hydrofoil shape, but if you aren't racing, you will never notice the difference. I too make rudders from scratch, see photos. African mahogany works nice.

When I was learning to make things in "shop class", we didn't have the advantage of power anything! We planed, drilled and sawed by hand, and learned to adjust and sharpen the blades.You’re teaching your son well! Beautiful woodwork.
