Interesting

I´m in the mental preparation stage for a 11´ sail and oar dink.... It´ll have to be a cartopper because of Spanish stupidity.
I´m discussing endlessly the centerboard/daggerboard dilemma.  I prefer centerboards, but the hull weigh more than a hull with a daggerboard case and the daggerboard taken out.

So a few  questions: How thick should a centerboard be in order to be strong enough? And btw. how thick is the centerboard in other dinks same size like the Coot etc. I was thinking about something like 15 - 18mm
