[Rhodes22-list] (Joe's Centerboard Woes)

[Graham Stewart]

Joe:
If you have a beach nearby with clear water you might take the boat into
about 4' of depth and from there it is easy to swim under and try to move
the centreboard and or examine its orientation and whether the line is
caught on something. Tie a line on board that you can use to pull yourself
back. With goggles you might be able to see what is wrong just standing
beside the boat.

Mary Lou:

     We launched in April, floated her off the trailer, and as my buddy
pulled the boat clear, the centerboard was caught between the guide boards
and the bunk, leaving her tilted to port and hung up on the trailer.  My
buddy got aboard, a backed into the water to get it floating, and he pulled
up the centerboard.  There would have been some sideways pressure on the
centerboard, I'm sure. I think it worked OK after that(that day).  I noticed
the trouble a couple of weeks ago.
