Marking Your Daggerboard

The daggerboard plays a crucial role in maintaining stability and maximizing boat speed, especially downwind and in varying wind and sea conditions. As we become more advanced and focus on other downwind skills, it's important not to overlook the daggerboard settings.


Having daggerboard calibration markings for how the daggerboard is set can significantly improve consistency. By noting the optimal position for different conditions, you can make the right adjustment quickly and accurately to set the daggerboard in the position that optimises performance.


Consistency is key and calibration markings for the daggerboard help maintain that consistency. It allows you to easily replicate successful settings based on specific conditions. Close attention to the centreboard settings and utilising calibration markings can enhance your overall performance.
