[Rhodes22-list] LOOSE CENTERBOARD

Greg:
I have an '81 R22 and bought mine with a stuck board along with other
issues.
A former member of this board Roger Pihlaja, a chemical engineer by
profession assisted me greatly in rebuilding my
centerboard well, trunk and mechanical advantage.
I took off those non moving ss pennant "pulleys" and replaced them with
Harken mini blocks. The blocks that attach to the board are held in
place by new 1/8ss that I machined.
They have been working great for me. I also bought a one pc Harken
mini block which is plastic but I enclosed it in a custom
mounted ss housing for the inside of the cap which I also had to
rebuild in stages.
Some of this restoration used to be available on the Blew Skies site
(owners site) but I m not sure if that is still up.
To other readers who may read this I am curious if ANY R22 has lost
its centerboard during a sail? I don t think its possible unless the
trunk gets damaged
in some terrible way. Even a hard grounding should just push up the
board.
My second season I grounded her so badly in Jamaica bay NY I had to
get BoatUS to pull me off.
I spent a good hr in warm water walking, trying to rock her off to no
avail. I found out that I was caught on an old piling which only
scratched my keel. I did extensive
searching for any damage and found nothing more than my primer paint
visible.
I was unfortunate enough to have a weakened hull under the forward
cement ballast in my boat. I ended up having to strip all of the
paint off twice in that section
to find the weakened hull laminate which was built up again using
glass cloth and epoxy.
I also stripped all of the paint off my orig CB and Rudder and re
epoxied them.
feel free to contact me via email for more info if needed
safe sailing
