Correct, Maria. And the magnet on the back of my beer bottle opener confirms the ballast is not lead, so I'm assuming steel.

I should have pictures tomorrow. I figured I'd put up a page to some pictures of the Bermuda trip for a short while, but I think the web site should remain dedicated to M-boats. In this case, I invoke web master's prerogative. It is an awesome power which I shall try not to abuse too often.

My boat is a 1986 hull number 406 and I have a glass board. Doug King's boat
is a 1986 hull number 404 and I believe has the iron centerboard. I may very
well have the first glass board 17 (can't find a listing for hull number
405.
