M_Boats: New Old M-17

[Bill Sylvester]

	It looks like I am finally going to get to bring old #279 home.  The 
major hurdle is that the pennant  that raises the centerboard is 
broken, and the centerboard is down.  Getting her on the trailer could 
present a problem so I have come to the experts for their opinions.
	I have a couple of ideas:
		  It might just swing into the trunk as the boat is winched onto the 
trailer.  (??????)
	 	My present idea is to tie off a line to one of the winches, run the 
line under the boat, have a diver position it under the centerboard, 
then use the other winch to pull the board into the trunk.

	Do either of these have merit?

	The final fix is to give the guy in the boat yard $180 to pull it and 
put her on the trailer.

What do you Montgomerians think?

Thanks,

Bill and Darcy Sylvester
