Did a first sail last week on my new old boat, 15-196, an 82' model. The trailer will require an overhaul but the boat appears to be sound. We had a very windy day and she sailed OK...healed over quite a bit so we put in a reef and pulled out the Yankee. She came with three jibs, the main, and a spinnaker. We had a large time until we attempted to put her on the trailer. That's when we discovered the centerboard has broken at the pin and was dangling under the boat by the rope. Fortunately I was wearing a wetsuit so I got under there and cut it off. Looks to me that it had been cracked for some time because most of the break is discolored. There was only about a square half inch still together. Anyone else had to replace the centerboard? Suggestions? Now that I've sniffed around every inch of the boat (which didn't take long) I wonder what you folks do with the crazy space under the cockpit. Clearly I can access it only from inside the boat and even then only limited access. Also, it seems to me that the bilge doesn't drain...right? Hers is full of black dirt. How do you get in there to clean it out? Is there any documentation describing how the mainsheet is meant to be rigged? I think I had it right but there were a few blocks unused on the boom.
