Macdara; welcome to the list; there are many owners with the centerboard boats;
the mechanics of the centerboard is reasonable simple, however, the wear and
tear on a given boat can be troublesome; your photos are good: I am not aware
of any readily available replacement parts for C&C centerboards, but someone
else on the list may have better information; I think your best bet is to get
the boat in a sling and lower the board and look up in the cavity to see if
there is any damage or rot; if there is, you can address it by re-glassing the
area or encapsulating the rotted area;
these boats were built strong and it would take something like a direct
grounding to cause structural damage. Good luck with your project and please
report back with your findings and any repairs you decide to make;

Hi,I tried posting this before but not sure if anyone got it.To cut a long
story short, I want to repair the area where the CB hardware attaches to the
bilge. It is partially delaminated and the underlying wood is sodden and there
is a little bit of rot appearing.It's a daunting task and a potential can of
worms, but if I leave it it's just going to get worse.Anyone tackled anything
like this before? Anyone have the technical drawings for the area mentioned?
