board check

Next haulout I would strongly urge you to have the yard block the boat with about three feet under the keel so you can fully remove the centerboard for examination. Remove the pin, disconnect the pennant from the pulley, and completely remove the board so you can clean it up and repair any cracks with glass and epoxy.

We lowered our board every other year for exam, but could never inspect the top 20% or so. That's where the board failed!

My experience aligns with Skywalker's: the board makes all the difference....especially in the ability to point!
