CS20mk lll center board

[Mark Rendelman hull 24]

 

Well I just finished the center board and iam not really happy how it turned out, the problem is that the contour on one side is real close to the drawing profile, BUT the other side is a little flat through the center, since I will be finishing it bright, faring compound is out of the question I could build it up with glass when I glass the whole center board.My question is what will happen ito the performance of the boat if I just leave it alone , iam just going to sail for pleasure. This is an edit to the original post when I said it’s flat on one side it’s also undersized to the cross section.

I slathered mine with epoxy w/carbon dust filler and finished with 400 grit.  No one will ever see it after installation, not even you. You might reconsider fairing and doing the same.

Finish it bright? I'd get the shape right before I worried how it looks.....

Mark, the centerboard is the tool that helps ya go upwind.   Not sure why you want it bright, the only time I see mine is maybe once a year when I drop it for a visual inspection.  ( I use it to pinstripe the Gulf of Mexico ).

Mark, I got my boat partially completed. The centerboard was finished bright so I didn’t change it. It’s true that it doesn’t make much difference since it is inside the centerboard trunk anyway. But I do like the looks of the varnished lever sticking out of the trunk. Don’t know if the MkIII eve has that end visible.
