I have often wondered about companies that fab rudders. (Seen a few in the mags) they might be able to make a board for a whole lot less.

The centerboard gives the race crew more fun things to do as you round the mark on to the downwind leg!? Thought I guess you put a ciderblock on the uphaul and tell them it's the centerboard. -scott

When the boat was in the travelift on the way to being launched, I had the centerboard lowered, just to make sure that there were no issues. The news was not good. I've attached pictures. I don't know if this can be repaired or whether I need to find a replacement. But sadly the boat is back in the supports. Any ideas would be welcome. > > <IMG-1115.jpg> > > <IMG-1114.jpg> > > <IMG-1113.jpg> > > > > > > > > >
