    Do 3/4 retracted curved dagger boards function and feel the same as a standard dagger board when the ship is under increased load. I would like a concept I'm building to be able to haul game from hunting, or extra concessions for long yoyages. How do retracted curved dagger boards with non finned foiled daggers and a center straight dagger for the center hull,, hold up generally and under those conditions?

    I believe you asked a rather open-ended question. There are too many variables at play to give a definite answer. I am no expert, but my understanding is that hydrofoils of various configurations and conditions are still not well understood by the experts.
