[Rhodes22-list] Attention group advice requested " centerboardissues"

[Michael Meltzer]

the problems you had this summer never sounded right, like the PO did something, this just seems more of it,  I would take all of
the "cement", see what you relly got there, fix the glass and centerboard and replace the balist with a sand/ploy mix.  be ready to
find a mess.
