Peter. 'hot rodder' for speed - * down when on a reach or higher * up going down wind * up motoring The board can rock in the trunk when it is down and boat at mooring. Keep board up so it will not work the rotation pin out of the keel. :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred/ On Sat, May 4, 2019, 7:15 AM Peter Zimowsky via montgomery_boats < montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:
Hi: Wondering. I always drop my centerboard when sailing and also have it down when motoring or motor-sailing. Does having the centerboard down while running the motor, add drag and slow you down. I would rather sail, but sometimes in the San Juans it’s dead calm or you’re fighting current. Thanks for advice on the novice question.
