In my my DSI (an '84 Spindrift), the centerboard control is a handle that allows me to pivot to the board up or down through the trunk. Mine has one catch, used to hold to hold the board in the up position. I have just been pushing it down, and have recently learned that learned from another dinghy sailor (Not a DS owner) that one way to reduce excessive weather helm is to raise the board slightly and that this is critical for racing. However, my board will not stay at any position between full up or full down. it tends to slide up or down, usually up, unless it's near the down position. Does anyone have a DS I that hadthis problem and was solved? If so, how do you adjust the controls to allow for intermediate positions? I hope that someone knows about this and will be kind enough to share their methods.
Thanks.
