I agree with Graham that getting stuck on the trailer has probably
dislodged the center board pin and the best solution is to get inside and
check it. However, I have solved a center board problem in the past by
diving under the boat and grabbing the center board with both hands and
placing my feet on the bottom and pulling. Brute force sometimes wins.
