[Rhodes22-list] Depth of Centerboard Trunk

Friends: I need to know how far the trunk extends below the belly of the
hull.

Although I was able to provide a drawing of the trailer cradle, my dock
builder can't or won't use it--the kind of cradle the Rhodes 22 has used
for 50 years.
.
He says he can't make a cradle with the long, flexible boards.  He wants to
make a cradle modeled on those used for bigger boats--keel boats, using
straight bunks on each side of the trunk and flexible stanchions to steady
the hull.

That will require more meticulous maneuvering coming in and, I think, risks
damage to the hull.
I don't like it, but I think I'm stuck with it.

Advice will be very welcome.

Thanks.
