After being a part of this chat group for over 6 months, I greatly
respect your opinion. When you were trying to trailer your boat with
the centerboard down, what happened? Will it be obvious to me that it
is not going to work or will I break something?

In my unfortunate experience, the board won't just swing into the

trailer: Chalk that up to forgetting to raise the board before
retrieving, or, rather, attempting to
retrieve, the boat.
I'd be inclined to jump to the final fix . . .

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
