Does any one use Aardvark foils?  http://www.aardvarkracing.co.uk

Their daggerboard rudder looks very nice, but are they any good? 

Would it be suitable for a Phantom?

If not, what foils would you recommend?

Cheers...  Mick.

I'm not sure that they make them for the phantom they do allot of stuff for national 12s and moths.  Maybe if you give them the dimensions they could sort one out for you.

Personally I use Bloodaxe. Admittedly he's an old sailing mate, but there are enough gold medal and worlds winners on his customer list to suggest that they are as good as any and better than most.

Daggerboard stocks are wonderful. Bloodaxe do them.

I have't seen any of Aardvaak's foils, but the boats I've seen looked OK.

I've got an Aardvark centreboard in my (Aardvark) 12, it's all well put together and cheap too!

Seems to me Mr Aardvark that your clients think you charge too little - time for a price hike ...

Maybe indeed...

And to answer the question, which I forgot last time - my foils should suit a Phantom quite well.
