It would seem that since the trunk rests on the inside of the hull that any weight suspended inside of the cb trunk would of necessity put the joint between the cb trunk and hull under compression. On Fri, Oct 28, 2016 at 2:49 PM, David Rifkind <drifkind@acm.org> wrote:
One other thing for nobody’s interest. I think that when the boat rests on the centerboard on the trailer that it essentially hangs from the roof of the centerboard trunk, and this may have something to do with the fragility of the keel-trunk seam, putting it in tension when it’s otherwise in compression. (Or did I say this already?)
