Hi after a regatta on the weekend talking to the hot shots I have found out that my centreboard has a bow in it from probably being left out in the sun (before i got the boat).
Its not huge and I realise that it is likely to be having a small effect on boat speed, partciularly on one tack. But it is always the 1% things to make me go faster and I cant spend more time on the water than i already do.
My question is:
Can this be fixed or am i up for a new board?
A simple man (me) would suggest just placing the board in the sun on a hot day (41oC today) the opposite direction and maybe it would bend the other way, but the little voice in me is also saying that it is unlikely to go straight.
