Monica, Only an hour's drive to avoid a potential disaster? Sure, there will be glitches with your centerboard. But even an hour away, they'll be far easier to deal with than a boat on its side in

I am used to removing power boats from trailers. T 27 would be too ambitious for me. I’d take it to a marina and get a short haul / possibly leaving it hang overnight, to give you some time and not

Jack, Don’t make things more complicated than they need be. The job is a piece of cake! When the corner of the board, tucks into the corner of the trunk. It basically aligns itself. Tepper the pin

Wow ! thanks for the wealth of information. I have a lot of planing and designing to do over the winter. I really don't want to lose another centerboard. Monica Malone PsyD monicam@...

Initially we tried the chain plates on either side of the board that you see in a few pics. but there was going to be a lot of wear in the trunk with that design so we ended up with an old turnbuckle

The smaller board on top in some of the pictures is the prototype new board design that would give better upwind performance... It never got tested but was a good design and is still around

Thanks. I like the idea of putting a bushing there. Monica Malone PsyD monicam@...

Monica, I think what Richard is alluding to is the fact that the centerboard pennant (wire rope) angle changes as the board is lowered or raised. The wire pennant can act like a saw where the pennant

Thanks Richard. Why is it that I might want to enlarge the pennant exit ? Monica Malone PsyD monicam@...

If you have to reglass the pivot tube you should be fine doing the work from above.. the pennant exit could be enlarged at the same time. One project for Lola will be finding why the board was lost

The fiberglass work does not concern me because I have a good friend who is a phenomenal fiberglass worker. He repaired the huge hole Sandy put in the boat & no amount of scrutiny reveals where that

Monica, When a boat is supported by jack stands the bulk of the weight is supported by the keel, not the jack stands. The jack stands merely keep the boat upright. I have heard of people digging a

Thanks, Jack. you make it sound so easy. I need to put in a new pivot bushing, so suggestions are welcome on that. I'm still hung up on lifting the boat. The folks who have responded make it sound

Monica, I have just finished updating and reinstalling the centerboard on #345 which was damaged and out of the boat when I purchased it. My advice is to install from the bottom (outside) . I can't

Thanks, Caleb. I'm sure I'm going to need lots more advice once I get into this project. Monica Malone PsyD monicam@...

Monica, I have owned #328 for nearly 15 years now but have not had to do anything major with my centerboard other than scrape barnacles and paint it, so take this with a grain of salt. I also keep my

Yes, sinking the boat was not part of the plan. The boat is on a trailer. I don't know how to get it high enough to get the centerboard in from the bottom without taking it to a boatyard to use their

I just did this last spring, but from the bottom. Hopefully you already know the boat has to be on the hard. I don’t really see the advantage of doing it from the top. It wasn’t that difficult to
