Gidday all from down under . I have finally managed to careen my Aussie DS1 and removed its Galvanised Steel centreboard. I was shocked to find that it is in very good condition. I thought that others would like to see its specification :-
DAYSAILER CENTREBOARD
LENGTH: 47 5/8 INCH 1210MM
BREADTH: 15 INCH 380 MM
THICKNESS 3/8 INCH 10MM
BOSS AT PIVOT : 1 5/8 INCH THICK
WEIGHT: 70 LBS
CASING DEPTH: 16 ¼ INCH
I would welcome suggestions as to how I can arrange a lift mechanism for it given the weight of 70 LBS ! All it has at present is a single pulley wheel giving no mechanical advantage. The clearance in the case is a little over an inch .
