Catamaran basics The daggerboards: understanding and adjusting them
Having a catamaran with daggerboards means enjoying better pointing ability than an equivalent model equipped with fixed stub keels, which are inevitably shorter. It means that you can also optimize drag, speed and even safety. Partially integrated, with foils...an inventory of the daggerboards on our boats and how to use these appendages.

Daggerboards: how to adjust them on your catamaran
Conclusion . Using daggerboards is a balancing act! Boat weight, weight distribution, sail area, wind strength, sea state, sail trim are all things that effect the decision for how to use the daggerboards: how much daggerboard to use and which one (or both) to use.
How We Do: Daggerboards
Every single HH Catamaran daggerboard goes into our monster testing jig and we apply the full force of the known working load to fly a hull with two reefs and the two times "dynamic load factor". So, an HH66 board gets tested to a staggering 17,000kg, which is really scary. Even with our new HH50, the boards are tested all the way to 10 tons.
Daggerboards
Marking the daggerboards at deck level will help indicate a "control" depth and assist in judging when they will be extending deeper than the rudders and thus aid in protecing them in case of a collision. For a more detailed description of daggerboards and their use, please refer to the "Appendages" chapter. Continue reading here: Tacking.
Catamarans with Daggerboards: Enhancing Stability and Performance
Short answer catamarans with daggerboards: Catamarans with daggerboards are multihull sailboats consisting of two parallel hulls and vertical foils called daggerboards that can be raised or lowered. Daggerboards improve stability, reduce leeway, and increase upwind performance by minimizing side slipping. These high-performance catamarans are commonly used in racing, offshore cruising, and ...

It doesn't matter if you are racing or cruising, the ability to go to wind makes or breaks a ...
Sailing Catamarans
Good directional stability depends on the hull balance. A properly designed daggerboarded boat will sail as straight as a LAR keel one, and have the additional benefit of being quicker to tack and maneuver when necessary. Finally, if you run aground, you can lift the boards to get off, but remain stuck with keels.

Daggerboards or Mini Keels for Catamarans?
The difference in windward performance between fixed keels and daggerboards on cruising cats varies depending on the conditions. In very light airs the daggerboards have a clear advantage, providing reduced wetted area and greater lift at angles of attack where a large percentage of the fixed keel's area is likely to be suffering from flow ...

Sail And Power Catamarans: Developing A 'Catitude'
A bridle should be preset with a line from each hull (under the trampoline) and hook or shackle in the middle. Once the anchor and chain is down, attach the bridle to the chain (usually done near the windlass) and set the hook putting the pressure on the bridle. Once set, let out enough chain to create a catenary.
Daggerboards: how to adjust them on your catamaran
The other reason that daggerboards can be confusing is that they affect not just the performance of a catamaran, but also the safety. Sometimes the theories contradict each other and lead to conflicting advice as to the right and wrong way to use them. In fact, there is no one 'rule' about daggerboards.
Daggerboard
Daggerboards can be found on monohulls which is the classic sailboat and multihulls called catamarans. Daggerboards come in all different shapes and sizes, some curved or s-shaped. Curved daggerboards started to appear thirty to forty years ago. The first prototype was made in 1985 by Ian Farrier. The benefits of vertical lift generated by ...

The bungee cord is fastened to the dagger board case with clamps. The PVC tube (for small boats a tube like that used for electric wiring will suffice) is very important. The tube holds the board back in the dagger board case and in this way the board in the slot under normal sailing conditions. The length and diameter of the bungee cord has to ...
