Daggerboads - Down/Up/Removed

I have not found this topic online.

What is the best position or location of daggerboards during hurricane force winds - when
1. Slipped in a marina
2. at a mooring

dagger boards Down/Up/Removed and lashed to deck. I am thinking removed and lashed to deck.

Thanks,

Pat

 

Sounds about right, no tripping hazard or windage. Getting the boom down, furlers off etc.. is also prudent. Weight down low in the hulls helps too, maybe the boards can be shipped below decks?

 

Hi,

I guess that it depends on "how long your piece of string is" that is I suppose. (Pun intended )

I too think removed and lashed to deck.

Although, on the shortest piece of string, in my opinion, I would have the whole vessel sitting secure in a hurricane force wind stronghold where, if it were mine, my cat would be 100% secure.

HTH?
