Carlos,
Thanks for the thought, but heaven forbid that anyone should post stuff "to help me with the boats". I just want to know what works, what doesn't and why.
There is no reason at all for Arttu or any other owner to tell us anything. When they do, it is a big bonus for which I am grateful.
As for the bigger bows, there is no reason why not (apart from small increase in weight, cost, windage), but I think you would have to try very hard to drive the current ones under and on a cruising boat, it would be time to back off. Rocker on the bow is another area that needs looking into. I suspect it would work to lift the bows at speed, but unless the bows were lower (less weight, cost, windage, eg on a race boat), there may not be much point.
Ono does have 2 dagger boards, it would be great to compare it's performance with Rare Bird or Blind Date to get some idea of any benefits. Most gps tracks and smartphone apps can now be easily uploaded which with a bit of information (weather, crew ability, sea state, etc) would make comparisons meaningful, although, from my point of view, daggerboards would have to be a huge benefit to overcome their drawbacks (weight, cost, complexity, likelihood of damage).
regards,
Rob

I think ifmyou wantnto help Rob with his boats, you could do a different type of video showing all parts of the boat, and the interior. Maybe a couple of shunts
I noticed you have two daggerboards also?
