If you can put on of it's "wings" over a dock, then tie from that edge to a cleat it'll stay upright. That's what I'd do when launching solo. A bulb would fix it, but I'm not sure on the weight needed nor how much weight the centerboard trunk can handle. When I worked at vanguard I suggested it to the designer and he laughed, but then another customer sent in pictures of his boat WITH a lead daggerboard built. He supposedly cut his centerboard in half, scraped out the foam from the bottom, glued it back together and then filled it with lead shot. You'd need to make sure you secured the board if you ever turtled though. If you can afford a 29er (I know they cost more) that solves the issue though as they have a flat enough bottom they'll stay up for a bit. Good Luck!

Looks like a good boat for me. Was surprised to hear it will not stay upright at the dock by itself without sails. Would I need to have 4 or more lines on it to keep it upright if I want to leave it in the water? Sounds silly, what if I added a 50 lb bulb to the dagger board? Probably help the irons issue too. Think this would keep right side up? Any comments welcome. Thanks Randy Hi,
