I have a Daysailer 1, and the centerboard handle is loose in the board. This prevents me from raising the board fully into the trunk, it flops out about 3 inches when the handle is full upright. I filled the hole in the cb with epoxy putty and pressed in the handle, covered in wax paper, to get the right hole size. This worked on land, but the putty cracked and fell out on the first sail. It was a windy day to be sure, but I would like to make the handle tight again and have it stay that way.
The hole in the centerboard was square, with no obvious rounding from wear; it was just too big for the handle. Also, I have noticed by looking up into the cb trunk that the square portion of the handle does not extend fully across the trunk, leaving the board, which is substantially narrower than the trunk, only partly supported by the square section.
Suggestions please.
Thanks
Dan
