[Rhodes22-list] Re: a difficult job, but worth all the toil!

Stan,

  I dropped the centerboard into the trunk today after the first round 
of sanding and it fit great with plenty of room!  The rejuvenated slots 
were in line with the tilt of the boat on its stands and there was no 
binding going up and down ( only to 3/4  down) as I am only about 4ft 
up on the stands.
All I have to do is roll in the last two layers of epoxy and barrier 
coat, then paint.   reassemble and move on to the next project!

  Unfortunately though my  non -GBI centerboard bail did not fit the 
trunk even with a custom designed T nut and shaved
1/4x20 truss head bolt. oh well back to using the stock pennant around 
the board with a bowline knot.

  Definitely the hardest job I have ever attempted, but will be totally 
worth the work in the spring when  i hope to launch.
  Lou
