Backboards...the red twin

While it seems that most folks on Cruising Anarchy don't care for this break from traditional mounting...I'm really warming up to it.

It'll likely go on the scrap heap of sailing ideas with other bad innovations like fin keels, spade rudders, diesel engines and aluminum spars ;)

Naaahhhh, I'm going to keep exploring it on the odd hull. Although the choice is entirely up to the client. These twins are going to a couple pretty open minded clients..
