For anyone that may be interested, I have just had a new daggerboard made for my 26M by a fibreglass fabricator in the Glasgow area using Mike Clarke's mould. The daggerboard seems well constructed and perfectly serviceable, see pictures below. The finish I expect is perhaps not as smooth as the factory produced item from BW Yachts but a fraction of the price at £300 plus VAT and shipping.
If anyone would like to have one made please let me know and I will deliver the mould back to the fabricator and forward his contact details to you in order that you can deal directly with them. If not, I will return the mould to John Pompei for storage along with the fabricator's details for future use. My daggerboard is now back in its trunk and I am preparing to launch this weekend.
I can be contacted on 07917 794518 or e: dcairney@edcscotland.co.uk
kind regards to all
Duncan

Dear Frank, Natalie and Roly,
I am glad to announce that all dagger boards have been collected from Glasgow and your boards are currently in Surrey. Passing Portsmouth this evening, if that is convenient for anyone....
Thank you all, again, for your support getting these, and to Duncan for liaising with the Fabricator over the mould.

Just for the record after a conversation with Roger Morris re the holes in the M26 dagger-board, the dagger-board has a number of holes in it needed for proper functionality. That is; the attachment points for the limit line and the raise lower line as well as the holes that allow fast proper flooding and draining. I’ve attached some photos so you can see them in the finished article and also attached the manufacturing instructions. The highlighted items 7 and 8 on page 5 describe the size and position of the holes in the finished board.
Hope this helps - Mike C

As a result of various recent conversations about getting replacement dagger boards made, and realising the information was a bit hard to find, I've collated what we have into its own section in the Knowlege Base, under Boards & Rudders -> 26M new boards.
You can find the instructions for making a board, as well as the related forum topics giving useful tips, and the history of how this project came about.
I hope this helps all those M owners with dagger board woes!
