thanks for the info >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/15/02 10:45PM >>> Randy:
I ordered a board from Bob Eeg which wouldn't fit into my slot. Before sending it to Doug Kelch, I took it to a machinist friend who traced it and made some notes. He made the board out of 3/4" cold roll plate steel. After it was primed and painted I think it weighed around 63 pounds. The project cost about $120. I was never able to sail with the original board so I can't compare the performance. Maybe ingnorance is bliss, but the boat seems to sail well with the new board.
