11. CENTERBOARDS
The centerboards are spring loaded for positive locating at desired positions and to allow retraction if contacted from below.
11.1When the handle is lifted slightly and moved forward in the key slot, the board is free to descend. Several adjustment knots can be placed in the line to permit the boards to extend to a variety of depths. When the board is fully extended it should reach 19 1/2 inches (49.5cm) as measured from the bottom of the hull to the tip of the board. When the board is fully retracted, the centerboard line should measure 21 1/2 inches (51.6cm) from the deck to the underside of the centerboard handle. To raise the board, pull up on the handle and slide the line into the key slot just below the last
11.2If you ever need to remove a centerboard, instructions are included. (FIGURE 17)
