Epoxy Optimist Racing Daggerboard

Our marine engineers have developed a daggerboard for a promising racer in the Optimist class. The special design of the dagger will help the future champion achieve a better result faster.

Our daggerboards are made using our know-how technology. In the core of it is a combination of very high pressure with thermo- shock. This technology gives our daggerboards resilience qualities which are very important when beating in choppy or rough waters.

Our know-how technology enables us to achieve extraordinary compression inside the fibreglass laminate in comparison with normal vacuum bag forming method adopted by most of our competitors.
As result of this extraordinary pressure the layers of the fibre glass form a practically solid structure. This enables our products to possess improved qualities of durability, rigidity and what we believe is most important exceptional resilience (ability to spring back).
To achieve these qualities the fibreglass reinforcements are placed in specifically calculated locations. As result our daggerboards spring back at a specially desired trajectory. This improves boat resistance to the drift and as a result brings better up wind performance.
Our daggerboards have a top quality surface finish and the best possible hydrodynamic profile.
The profile has been designed using NACA 0009 profile.

Daggerboards are made in the accordance with latest IODA rules.

Dotan`s rudder benefits

Flick-of-the-Wrist Magic
Dotan's conceptually brilliant rudder mechanism enables you to set the blade with a simple flick of the wrist.
Rudder Box: Constructed of Non-Corrosive
Incomparably strong and matchlessly durable, using non-corrosive, composite materials which make the Dotan rudder box more steadier against dynamic loadings than aluminum boxes.
Blade Shape: NACA Hydrodynamic Profile
The Dotan rudder blade's profile is designed on the basis of the NACA 0009 hydrodynamic profile (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics). The Dotan rudder blade's shape minimizes wave and inductive resistance.
Encountering obstacles
When hitting underwater obstacles such as rocks, sandbanks, jellyfish, etc., the blade automatically kicks up.
Warranty
Your Dotan rudder system comes with a 3-year limited warranty for the rudder box and with a 2-year limited warranty for the blade. The rudder box for Optimists has a 10-year limited warranty.
