[Rhodes22-list] questions regarding the Rhodes centerboard - Very Important Comment

[Tootle]

Joe:

What Ron failed to say about pictures is that the boat is out of the water!  

Yes people have changed the lines.  Also, ask Captain Bob Keller about his
experiences with a centerboard that does not go up and down.  Also ask
Captain Lou Rosenberg for his comments on the centerboard well. 

Gee, if Ron replies to your post, he needs to go back and read:

So, downhill Joe, where do you reside and sail.  That could have a bearing
on whether your board goes up and down.  Everheard of muscles?  

We are waiting for you to tell us more...
