This performance has not escaped the notice of certain boat builders - at least those who build the most high-performance sailboats equipped with daggerboards or foils... In fact, in less than 10 years, Vesconite Bearings has already produced more than 80 daggerboard well bearings. These highly specialized products feature a rectangular housing with a central cut-out in the shape of a NACA profile (elongated teardrop) and are customizable. The bearings are offered in a wide range of sizes, from a modest 140 x 64 x 25 mm to an enormous 1,094 x 214 x 82 mm.
