Land Rover BAR Two Boat Testing

I reported back in August that BAR had launched their fourth test boat but until now we didn’t have any photos of both their boats together. Leigh McMillan helms one of the test boats. In this video you can see different shape daggerboards being tested. Aside from the daggerboards, the only other visible difference in these photos and videos is that the Anabel’s nightclub logo has been painted on the rudders of only one of the boats. Anabel’s is one of the team’s sponsors.

Notice the outward curve of the daggerboard and the pronounced dihedral (upwards slope) of the daggerboard wing.


The starboard daggerboard has an outward curve and clear anhedral (downward sloping) daggerboard wing.


The boat on the left has an outward curving daggerboard. The boat on the right has a straight board. Both appear to have dihedral daggerboard wings.
