Default 2 questions for Doug.

Well, you don't seem to have an opinion as to whether they should be
rounded or squared off.



Oh, I have an opinion. This is a great example of your misquoting or
deliberately misinterpreting what I say.

Doung, it's short thread -go back and reread your answers. You say you
know but won't give the answer? C'mon! What is your 'opinion'?


My opinion is: There are a lot of things that make tremendously more
difference in a boat's performance. A squared edge is better than round
or even sharp, although I shape mine with an alternating bevel. However,
if the helmsman isn't the sharpest, or the crew is hiking lazily, or
the jb leach is slightly blown, or some other detail of set & trim isn't
just right, then a perfectly formed centerboard trailing edge is not
going to make the boat faster by magic.
