Over the years, my mahogany daggerboard has worn-away some of its trailing edge. I'm wondering what alternative materials can be used, as I'm no longer racing sail boats.
Marine plywood? Oak? Aluminum? Cast iron would be too heavy.
But while cast iron did occur to me sailing yesterday as a possibility, I was also wondering if using a waterlogged daggerboard was legal in Sunfish racing. (Always the racer).
Also, I recall that someone suggested that another four inches can be added to its length. While that sounds like a lot, it's pretty deep where I sail, and wouldn't mind the extra lift. Any thoughts?
