I just got into sailing with my recently purchased 1973 Sunfish. Yesterday I notice that when I lifted the daggerboard half way out the boat would not heel as much. I kind of like this because when the wind gets heavy I can use this trick to diminish the lean on the boat.
My question is, what are the effects of having the daggerboard half way up versus fully down on the following aspects:
* Heeling
* Direction
* Speed
* Maneuverabilty
* Drag
Please feel free to give your 2 cents on this subject and also mention any other comments or tricks that you consider important or helpful.
Thanks, Rafael
