Having damaged my center board this year I need a new one.
I have the old but has a good section missing at the bottom.
Does any one have the dimensions of an original, or drawing?
As a minimum I need the overall length, or length from fulcrum to bottom .
I favor David Hertiage yachts on the Isle of Wight to make the new one as they did a very good job for Richard Greenway earlier this year but they did not keep any dimensions.
Would be grateful for any help. Insurance wants quote from two sources. Boat is down at Mercury on the Hamble but without a center board.
If the dimensions can be found I can draw up plan on AutoCAD and maybe as an organisation we should start to keep some basic plans so members don't keep having these issue especially as boats get older needing more repairs.
Is there anything in the library!I already have an AutoCAD drawing for a 26x binnacle cover as mine snapped and I have had a new one made. I also have a spare hanger for the centreboard/swinging keel and drawing of it for a 26x.
Sorry don't have dimension of keel, its a pity David Heritage didn't keep measurements........however, in a few weeks time I need to replace a hanger on my new centerboard and will take some dimension from it before refitting and will prepare a drawing and make this available if it helps!
I am also needing to re anti-foul my boat 'Lonach' below water line hull any recommendation for Macs?

Hi Richard,
Thank you for the offer of the plans, I think would be valuable for the club.
I talked to the Tatoo distributor a few months ago to see if he could import one and they cannot, but he did say he could have sold 4 or 5 this year.
It is unfortunate that David Heritage Racing Yachts did not keep any dimensions but I was able to recover my old badly damaged board and I have re fabricated the "missing pieces " so that they can use the old board as a template.
I should get the new board in a few weeks and will measure up and send you the details. The insurance approved the new board without any problems and David Hertage arranged collection of the old one and will ship the new one to me.
Considering the damage happened in August, I should have the new one in November which is great for the new season.
tremendous think if anyone has plan of bits we should collect a database of these on Autocad for members to be able to give dimensions to those having to make them to avoid the lack of information.
