Can anyone help me with the dimensions of the Vagabond centre board / dagger board.
I recently purchased a Vagabond and the dagger board that came with it seems far too small.

This is the original Vagabond and not the MkII

Pics of the boat and board it came with would help alot?

Is it lift or swing? Hard to tell from online pics what they are supposed to have

Thanks for your response, I have shared some images in google drive:

Please tell me if you can't see these images.

The current and board it came with is a lift dagger board but it could be described as self lifting as it floats up every time you go about.
I will try and add some of the boat on the trailer shortly.

Thanks that matches mine exactly.
Just need to find a way to keep it in place and understand why the slot is so much larger than the length of the board.
Sorry I'm not in the market for another.
