What would be the feasibility of making a new daggerboard from scratch? I have a little experience making wooden airplane propellors and as such am very familiar with the concept of forming an airfoil.
I want to do this to revive my current daggerboard, put a hole in it for the bungee, coat it white, etc. without destroying its originality. Basically make something like the new style. It can't be too different from laying up a butcher block table (or is it one piece?) and carefully crafting an airfoil, right?
I can get rough sawn hardwood of any common type from a local guy who sells it at $10 / 10 ft. I'm talking about an inch to an inch and a quarter thick, twelve to fourteen inches wide and having been dried for many years. I've used his lumber in the past, and it has worked out great.
