[Rhodes22-list] Centerboard

[Ronald Lipton]

Took two days off from work to work on the boat - but of course 
the forcast was WRONG and instead of warm and sunny it is 
cold and rainy.  I did manage to clean and wax the sides and 
I finally pulled out my centerboard and took it home to patch 
and paint it this weekend.  While doing this I noticed that the 
pivot bar is not perpendicular to the CB surface, off by about 
10 degrees.  This must be the way it has been on the boat for the 
last 13 years but it is a little odd and I am wondering if it was the 
source of some of the clunks I have been hearing.  I also talked 
to the local canvas shop about a cockpit cover.  When I get a 
quote I will post it to set a scale.
