i have a 1975 capri omega with mahogany centerboard and rudder. the keel is shot and the gaskets are gone. we had a hard time the other day on our lake when the wind picked up and we had no power on the starboard tack. when i righted the boat after a capsize i broke off the tailing edge of the centerboard so i am looking for a new one! i know there is a vast amount of knowledge out there on this one. there is also no hardware currently to raise and lower the centerboard. i have a scheme in mind with bungee cords holding it aft and a line with a pulley going forward to a jam cleat on the way back. i tried to search for this subject and found a link to replace gaskets but i could not get the link to work. are there replacement centerboards available? are there kits for controlling the board?
