Marco, thanks for your quick answer. (ofwel bedankt). You are right, I have to look at the present and a lot happend in the last 20 years

. The boards and technology improved hughly. So a dagger board seems to be outdated. But why does Starboard introduce a new model with dagger board ? One of the advantages is that you can remove it. But I think you have already convinced me to go for the 151. Can you also advise me what kind of rig I need ? 6 or 6.5 ? As mentioned I want to use the board from 3 knts till 21 knts.

Why do you say the 171 is too big with 21 kts ? what do you mean by that.

Thanks in advance for your answer.
