[Rhodes22-list] Diamondboard Conversion

[Joe Dempsey]

Just out of curiosity:
1.  How much difference is the Rhodes' performance with the Diamondboard
keel?
2.  Has anyone ever converted from the original to the Diamondboard?
3.  If so, is it simply a matter of unpinning the original and replacing
with the DB or does this require a different pin
     and pin location?

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Report on project to remove and refinish my diamond
board

Way back in April, 2019 I requested help from the list on trouble I was
having with my diamond board. I received a lot of great feedback and
promised to share details. This was one part of a larger project that kept
the boat out of the water for a couple of years. I took pictures along the
way and have written up a short report on the centerboard and interior work:

There are lots of pictures -- maybe too many. Please consider this "version
1". I'm sure that there are errors and omissions, which I'll try to fix as
they surface. I just wanted to put it into the Rhodiesphere quickly, given
the list members struggling with centerboards now. The boat is very
obviously in my driveway, but I just realized I should add a disclaimer to
not attempt what I did with the boat in the water (unless you fancy owning a
Rhodes submarine).

John.
