Craig: The leading edge of my board is rounded and the trailing edge is feathered to approximate the glass board. I am sure it won't win any design awards, but I think the shape is pretty decent. I sail to relax and have fun, so it works great for me. Dale Honshells wrote:
Dale, I'd love to see that pic on the MSOG website. Thanks, Craig
p.s. Did you bevel the leading edge of your new steel board/do any "airfoil" shaping of any kind?

Cherri:
I had a centerboard made from steel and will want to drop it out for inspection from time to time. Since I don't want to monkey around with epoxy each time, I cut a pin to the width of the keel and had the ends tapped. Allen bolts inserted through caps screw into each end of the pin and hold in place. John, who made my board and the pin set-up said that he would be glad to make pins for anyone who was interested for ( I would have to check with him in case I am remembering wrong) $20, shipping included. If you are interested I can take a picture of my keel with the pin in it and post it on the web for you.
