The daggerboard (now that I know the difference) space is about 1" X
11".

That's a reasonably nice little boat.

I bet it uses a boom. When you get a chance, though, post pictures of the
sails and mast. If the mast has an obvious boom fitting on it, that will
be a clincher. ;-)

You may want to start another thread if it's going to be a while before
you can post the sail/mast pictures.

Have fun with your project. And I would consider putting a proper foil
shape on the rudder and dagger-board, but maybe that is just me. You could
conceivably get them cut for you out of foam at flyingfoam.com. They make
wings for radio-controlled gliders and airplanes. You don't have to tell
them that your "wing" is really for a rudder on a boat. ;-) You would
just coat the foam with fiberglass, fair it and you are done. It's just an
idea. I haven't actually done this.
