My dagger board likes to pop up while I'm going upwind. Then, downwind, it constantly slides back down. I have a "bungee" on it, but my Dad decided that it would be best to secure the shock cord to an eye near the mast, instead of clipping it through the bow-eye. He says that the shock cord should hold it better from that position, but it doesn't appear to be working! According to him, the problem is with the board itself. He says that there just isn't enough friction between the board & the boat. (Maybe the previous owner McLubed it?) So, can anyone tell us what we're doing wrong, or how this can be fixed?
