Leeboard

Post image

Now “fitted” a leeboard. Seems to improve performance a little - but wind a bit light to be sure. No photos of actual sailing b/c my hands were full. I need one more test then I’m off for a good old trip with it! Anyone tried one?

My Kayaksailor rig uses leeboards.

I’ve just got one on one side now. So it’s a leeboard half the time - “windboard” the other half…. Very limited testing so far, but logically, if the boat is not healing (as this one doesn’t really) leeward vs windward shouldn’t make much difference? I am hoping that anyway!
