I
thought a lot about the centreboard pin. I did not
want to just bung a bolt with a couple of rubber
washers through the whole shebang. If one squeezes too
tight there is a risk of pinching the centreboard in
the case, and if one does not tighten enough there
might be leaks. This drawing illustrates what I
finally decided on. The photos that follow show this
drawing becoming reality. I took a bit of a departure
on the CB case. It is more complicated than it really
needs to be, but I wanted it to be on a par with the
overall quality I was going for on the boat. |
