Yes four boards in total. In the video we had both rudders down and some
board because the other had snapped. Last summer we realized that the
daggerboards are helpful when sailing under main only. Otherwise we do
not really need them. The boat can be shunted without daggerboards. I
guess this has something to do with the placement of rudders, they are
close to the bows on our boat. We usully keep both rudders down, adjust
the balance with the rear one if going upwind and steer with the rear
rudder sailing downwind.
Daggerboards add safety and help control the boat in bad seas because
they make steering easier, the boat is easier to control. This has
nothing to do with rig type, it is about hydrodynamics. There is no
rocker you see.

on the other group Sloop vs Schooner. Showing what I thought a shunting
crafts helm balance should and shouldn't be. So you have four boards
total. And only use two at a time. Sounds like a spiral up not down.
