  1. Ken, Appreciate any insights. Close up of senterpoad pin: Perspective on CB trunk. Pin is on the OTHER side: More perspective n teh CB pin. The black material around the pin appears to be some type of worn friction material to help the handle hold the torque of the board when it was raised. One idea which occured to me is clamp a stainless steel hose clamp arounf the pin, and us it as a gripping surface to try and pull the the pin out (with lots of "wiggling". Chuck
  2. 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?
  3. THis weekend, I bought an 10' Oxford dinghy at auction. While it needs new railing and some work on the center boards, the price was right ($150). Last night I stumbled across this web site. If any one has restored an Oxford befor, I'd love to hear fro them. I plan on using the dinghy for local sailing, as well as a tender for my sailboat. Thanks i advance, Chuck Philly, PA
