Just throw a 1x10 in the dagger board case (put a couple of holes in the top
for some bolts so that it doesn't slide right down). Screw the boom. Booms
are called booms because they go "boom" when they hit you in the head. You
don't need one to make the boat move. Once you get proficient at sailing
this particular boat, then you can throw up a closet pole for the boom.

Just put the boat in the water and have fun. If it sinks, you'll get wet.
Big deal.

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