Wouldn't you worry about loads of water getting down there & staying there? If the drainpipe came out the back then water would go the other way in light winds!

No rules about centre/dagger boards. All the modern ones have daggerboards.

Draft: Do you mean how deep in the water is the tip of the board? If so, then it varies from boat to boat. There aren't any rules about the length of the board. Ours is to my waist (I'm 5'9'').

Hope that helps. Is this an 'inland waters' question?

well yeah sorta, what got me thinking was that i was looking at some drawing on the cherub website,  and i couldn't workout if they had center or daggerboards,

and with them only been realituvly short boats the center/daggerboards looked massivly deep.


fanks for your help

I believe an arrangement on those lines is currently popular in the 16ft skiffs. You'd have to have a very high floor to make it self draining in a Cherub.
