In extreme winds it is necessary on some boards to change the daggerboard or centerboard. ❋ Gary Jobson (1998)

On landing they they found that one of the rudders had sheared off and part of a daggerboard and the bowsprit were gone. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Commencing with some sailing theory it looks at how the slot effects the drive of the mainsail under different points of sail, and how the size of the slot should be varied with the wind strength to give maximum drive, how to identify backwinding, and how to adjust the sails to remove or minimize its effect, how the driving forces acting on the sail can be divided into side and forward components, and how these vary for beating, reaching and running and how the resisting forces acting on a boat's daggerboard/centreboard and rudder act in relation to the sail forces when beating, reaching and running. ❋ Admin (2010)
Since the partially hoisted centerboard or high-wind daggerboard is small and swept back, it reduces the board’s tendency to round up into the wind and makes it possible to bear off and surf on the waves in a strong wind. ❋ Gary Jobson (1998)
4 - Prepare the new runner, new daggerboard down, release a bit of mainsheet, keel released to leeward ... ❋ Unknown (2009)
