Thanks, Ken.
Here's a question: The centerboard needs replacing (OK. from a sailing perspective, it's still functional, but I want to improve it).
The question is "How do you remove the centerboard?"
There's a brass handle attached to the pivot which you use to lower or raise the board. It's removeable, which reveals a brass "pin" on which the board swings. The pin is approx 7/8" diameter. It sticks out the starboard side of the centerboard trunk, where the handle attaches.
On the port side there it is apparently fitted to the inside of the centerboard well. In other words, you can't push it out (think large punch drive pin) as here's no place or it to go.
Pulling it out would be hard, as there's nothing on which to grip, and I do not want to damage the brass.
Any ideas?
