Sort of like how you settled for an inferior boat?

Scott, don't forget that the dagger board on the mac isn't fixed, or
tied down. Actually, the only thing holding it down is gravity. What
this means in the context of Question #6 is that if the board hit the
bottom as the boat fell down off a wave or during a falling tide, the
boat would merely slide downwardly on the dagger board, or, the dagger
board would be pushed upwardly relative to the dagger board trunk.


That is true. But, if you 'run into' a rock, as opposed to falling down
onto
it, the daggar board may break or break the trunk or both.

As I read the question, the boat had "settled" down on the rocks, not
run into them.
