Chris I have more sanding to do and I will thin the leeboard down even more to make it thinner. I have to cut some of the top off at the handle area but the leeboard looks really long. But three feet is below the bottom of the hull. If I mount it on my present AKA location it would set like in the picture but I may move the AKA for the Fulbot pontoons I bought on top of my yak and that would move the leeboard up another three or four inches. So the length may be OK. I know you have been associated with Water Tribe and the pictures of leeboards I have seen on many of their boats look smaller then my mine. Can you comment on this?
