[Rhodes22-list] Centerboard stuck

[recorderguy2001 at yahoo.com]

Hi all,
   So my new-to-me '86 rhodes is in the water  at her slip.  I'm doing a few projects before taking her out for a first sail.
Just to get a feel for the centerboard weight I uncleated the line and....nothing, didn't move a bit.  Before I dive in and try pulling on the board, I thought I'd ask if there's another (warmer) approach to freeing a stuck centerboard. 

Thanks as always, 
       Peter
