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.
Which catamarans have daggerboards?

What Are Daggerboards on a Catamaran? (An In-Depth Look)
Short Answer. Daggerboards are vertical boards on a catamaran that can be raised and lowered to provide lateral resistance and stability to the boat. When the daggerboards are lowered, they provide more stability and can help the catamaran sail closer to the wind. When they are raised, the catamaran has less resistance and can move faster.
Daggerboards: how to adjust them on your catamaran
Catamaran daggerboards: how should they be adjusted for optimum sailing? Daggerboards are best thought of as an 'underwater sail' - sometimes called a 'foil'. Just as a sail above the water needs trimming - so does the sail under the water. But unlike the sail above the water, the daggerboard only has one trim option: how much of it ...

How We Do: Daggerboards
Daggerboards add performance to a catamaran. In doing so they are subject to incredible side forces to stop the boat slipping to leeward and providing lift. A straight daggerboard not only stops leeward slippage but also provides lift to windward because the water flowing over the board has a high pressure and low pressure side, much like an ...

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 ...

Catamarans with Daggerboards: Enhancing Stability and Performance
A catamaran with daggerboards is a type of sailing vessel that features two hulls connected by a platform known as the bridge deck. Unlike traditional catamarans, these innovative vessels are equipped with retractable keels called daggerboards which can be adjusted based on sailing conditions.
Sailing Catamarans
Currently I own two catamarans, one with daggerboards and one with keels. Over the last 30 years I have owned five cruising catamarans with keels, nine with daggerboards and one with one centerboard. Furthermore, I am one of the few designers who has fitted LAR keels and boards to the same hull (on Strider, Sagitta and Banshee) and then sailed ...
Why Daggerboards Make Sense over a Fixed Keel
Your sails, keels, daggerboards and rudders when moving forward into the wind create high pressure of the windward side, and low pressure on the leeward side, and the boat is pulled forward, into the wind. Because the foil directs the boat around the curve of the foil, the boat is lifted forward, and to windward. This is also why airplanes fly.
Heavy Weather Strategies When Sailing a Catamaran
High-performance cruising cats: High-performance cruising catamarans typically have efficient daggerboards or centerboards, deeper rudders, less windage and less displacement. They can go to windward at a 45-50 degree TWA in nearly all conditions. A performance cruising catamaran can typically outsail even the best keelboats to windward.
Catamaran Daggerboards Pros & Cons Discussion
Daggerboards, what are they good for? If you can afford them, are there any downsides? Lets kick off a discussion hereSupport us on Patreon?!: http://bit.ly...
Daggerboard
Generally, daggerboards are used on smaller rigs such as 10 to 40 feet for racing but there is a large number of custom and semi-custom catamaran builders who offer daggerboards as an option. Daggerboard rigs may be faster than fixed keels because fixed keels have so much hydrodynamic drag by the shape.
Performance Study of Daggerboards Versus Keels
By: Phillip Berman, published with editor's permission from Boating NZ and Blue Water Sailing In my forty-five year career in the catamaran industry there's been a relentless debate on the virtues and vices of daggerboards versus fixed keels. This debate has, however, mostly been waged without "hard numbers" from which to compare performance differences. As we […]
Daggerboards vs Centerboards
Centerboards or "swing boards" rely on a pivot point at the top of the board allowing it to swing 90 degrees vertically and retract horizontally in a wet cavity built into the bilges in each hull, while daggerboards penetrate only vertically through bearing boxes in each hull. These deployment differences can dictate the shape of the boards ...
