Foil Quality

   Big surface area, so yes. But it is a small part of the whole picture, so get it all right, and you notice the difference.

Also, headology shouldn't be underestimated. Nice kit makes you think your boat is fast, which in turn gives confidence which makes you sail fast.

On the other hand, I sail knackered old boats and enjoy it, so what the hell!

	How critical is the quality / finish of a daggerboard for boat speed - does it really make much difference if it's not lovely and smooth?
