Hello sailors. I'm the proud third owner of mod 1 Capri 14.2 hull #880. The boat has been very well kept, but one thing I missed when inspecting the boat was a hairline crack in the centerboard (CB). After two outings, the crack has become much more pronounced.
Looking for advice on whether or not to replace the CB ($500 via Catalina Direct)? Or should I attempt to repair with epoxy and fiberglass cloth?
As is, I am imagining the boat capsizing someday and pulling on the CB to right the boat only to have the CB break completely off.
Thanks for any and all advice.
