| Laser hull with twin canted daggerboards I am retired with nothing to do so I bought an old Laser for $50. I put a canting mast on it, twin canted dagger boards, and twin canted rudders. I bought three old mahogany daggerboards and cut one in half for the two rudders. They are about the same size as a Laser daggerboard. I am having great fun testing the rig, but I am not an engineer, so its mostly by feel. I canted the boards and rudders so they are vertical at rail under heel,and set them about 2 degrees toe in. I can point well, yet wonder if I could take the electric planer to one side of the boards and or rudders to make them assemetrical for added lift. Is this an alchemist's fantasy? |

| Im sorry, I wasn't clear. I do sail with the mast canted slightly to windward, and when I'm rail under, the boards are vertical and there is less wetted surface. |
