THE LEEBOARD ANGELS

In contrast to a centerboard can a leeboard be angled to give an optimum perfomance.

Consulting Matt Layden who knew a bit about the subject I have chosen 1 degree toe in and 12 degrees outward.

Tjat the board may rest agains a flat surface I have used sandpaper on a big particle board. Heavy work, but good results. Foto below.

This is how the angels came out after lamination with 8 layers 450 gram stiched glasfibre.

Leeboard up. The clamp will be replaced by a M 20 bolt and diameter 100 mm, 6 mm thick washer.

Leeboard down. This is the starboard side. Port side to be done.

To be continued…
