Hi David,
Best to check with your national measurer.
However - imho, and consensus in the US, is that 2 foils mounted on racks
would be 2 centerboards. In the spirit of the rule as I see it - it's one
foil that provides centerboard/daggerboard function.
Glad to see the spirit of innovation continues.
Greg

Subject: [I14] Centreboard - Rule 10 clarification
<p>I looking for further clarification within the Rules.
Rule 10 states that only one Centreboard may be carried.
What is the definition of a Centreboard?
My questions relates to the possibility of fitting lifting hydrofoils to
vertical foils fixed to the wings of my skiff and hence you don't need a
foil mounted on the centre line of the boat. My question is would the two
vertical foils be classed as centreboards (what if they are not vertical?)?
if Yes then this setup does not seams to be legal,
if No, then they are obviously considered to be something new similar to
the current T-foils, and due to silence within the rules they'll be classed
as legal and can be used until eliminated through rule changes.
In my opinion the rules are very vague on this issue and considering the
recent rule proposals I would like clarification even if it is opinion
only.
Please help
