Update - 8/2017.

In the end, I was successful sewing together pieces of felt (thanks to John Ryan of DTL-Mori for the idea of using felt as a sliding-seal.) and super-glueing these to the inside of the daggerboard trunk. The felt was easily sewn and you can achieve the required thickness to keep the boards firm inside the trunk without excessive friction.

Felt is $0.20 a piece at Wal*Mart or it was when I did this project back in 2011.
