Yes, Steve, the centerboard seems to be doing fine with a bolt, washers, and locking nut. We even changed the pennant, which actually was a pain in the neck - the line I bought fit through the holes down to the centerboard but when we made a knot to attach it to the centerboard, the knot was too wide and the board wouldn't retract. Danny did everything he could to flatten it out but we ended up buying a smaller diameter line and then everything worked out fine (3/8" didn't fit, 1/4" did).
I'm looking forward to your report on your renovations - hope everything goes smoothly.

AT&T Broadband screwed up my account AGAIN and now I have a NEW email account (with a new address) -- I doubt if any of you had my direct address in your address books or anything, but in case anyone did, my new address is s.mcclellan@attbi.com <mailto:s.mcclellan@attbi.com>
So for about 4 days, I have not been able to get my daily (sometimes hourly) fix of Montgomery Sailboat Owners' news -- and whatever went through the list during that time has been lost to me. What did I miss? Anything interesting? (I know I could look in the archives -- I will get details from there if I need to).
Cheri, did you get your centerboard pivot problem resolved ok?
I'm nearing completion of my centerboard/trunk/keel stub renovation -- I'll let you all know how it went when it's finished.
