[Rhodes22-list] questions regarding the Rhodes centerboard.

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Joe,
I think Rummy related to me once that Bob Keller's diamondboard somehow came out of it's preferred 'home' after it had been rotated too far into the vertical position.  I am not aware of similar unwanted consequences if a conventional board is overly rotated forward.  I have additional line on my centerboard lanyard, but a ball stop is knotted to keep the cb from moving further forward.  Anyone have practical experience on this.
