[Rhodes22-list] Diamond Board Depth

[KUHN, LELAND]

Chris,

Interesting.  You may be the first person who has ever actually taken
these measurements, to include Stan.  :)

Glad to see we can put our boats up high on jacks.  Marinas have always
rested my boat on the forward tip of the keel so I can't lower my
centerboard.  Can't paint the centerboard and requires you to lie on
your back to paint most of the bottom.  Kind of like painting the
Sistine Chapel, another work of art.

I took advantage of the warm weather this weekend and got my boat ready
for
the spring launch.  With my boat up on jacks I was able to lower the
diamond
board all the way and took some measurements.  I measure 24" from the
keel
to the bottom of diamond board and also measure 4-3" to 4'-6" from the
water
line to the bottom of the diamond board.  My question is this:  is my
diamond board all the way down at 24"?   I think it is as this seems to
match photos on the GB web site but just want to make sure.  The older
style
center board seems to be deeper?  Also if the water line to bottom of
diamond board is 4'-3" less 24" when the board is up then the draft is
about
2'-3" not 20" noted on the GB site?  Does the advertised 20" asume a
slight
heel?  Enclosed are some images for reference.
