Hey Edd--I love the boat you are selling--unfortunately when I bought my 36
XL/kcb a new 37/40 kcb was out of my financial reach!!
Mine is a slightly smaller version of the 37/40 and has a very similar
centerboard arrangement. Since I do mostly club racing in the relatively thin
NC sounds/rivers, I would never consider glassing in the board(maybe if I
stopped racing) although I know of others with C&Cs who have done this for the
reasons you mention. I also agree that since both boats have a massive cb trunk
(mine is about 4700 lbs), it sails pretty well with the board (~925 lbs) up or
even glassed in.
OTOH, when I put my board down from 4.5 ft to 7.25 ft, she straightens right up
and sails to weather at least 5 degrees closer to the wind--and if I and the
crew are on our game, we are very seldom beaten to the weather mark in most
breezes above 8 knots by any boat in our size/PHRF handicap range. Downwind,
kite or not, we grind the board up (not easy or quick) and with decent
spinnaker work or just flying a genoa with a whisker pole, again we are seldom
passed (although we don't gain much either!). As you know, the cb trunk is both
massive in length, weight and width so it adds significant wetted surface
compared to a skinny (and deep) fin keel. I agree that there is some
drag/turbulence from the cb slot but both our boards have an elliptical shape
so that no matter how far the board is extended, it fully 'fills' the slot--as
opposed to many cb boats with more or less rectangular boards that do not fill
the slot with the board as the cb is dropped.
Since I haul her yearly for new bottom paint, and have the cb pennant replaced
at ~5 year intervals, my added expense with the board is minimal. However, the
yard must always do the board painting while it is hanging in travel lift--they
have an aversion to having the board fully down, and the boat very high on jack
stands! And most yards do not like to dig a hole so that the board can be
extended either!
Good luck with your next boat!

Joel,
We sealed the board in and glassed the bottom, so she’s the world’s only
shoal-draft model.
4.9 feet of draft and we saw no change in performance. In fact, without the
slot and drag, the boat actually sailed faster in anything under 10 knots of
breeze and the same up to the 15-knot range. And, no headache of thousands of
dollars of maintenance every several years (board maintenance requires a
haul-out and time in the travel lift.) See:

If you really want to restore the board, any competent yard could do it. But,
seriously, she sails better with it sealed in.
All the best,
Edd
