How about this skippers Glue a fiberglass shim to each side of the trunk. Use wood shim to hold it until the glue dries. Capt.

Thanks Dave!
I'll need to test it on the water, but I think you solved the problem with the diagram- I think I was sailing with the board too low, to the point where very little board remained in the trunk. I had the lowest point of the top of the centerboard between the pin and pendant just flush with the keel, but it sounds like it should be a few inches higher than that.

Man, I wish I had your problem! I got the opposite..... board too tight. It's a much harder fix. Ches M15 "Mouse" #153
