Centreboard missing tip

   1)I would use west 404 high density filler with west epoxy to adhere whatever is loose back together with clamps.
2) Use a grinding disk on a dremel and cut a slot front to back in the tip of the foil.
3) Get some solid glassfibre sheet and use an epoxy/404 mix to glue it in place then cut it to rough shape.
4) Fill one side with 404/epoxy.
5) Fill other side.
6) Sand away.
7) Add more epoxy filler mix
8) More sanding.

Repeat untill you have the shape of your foil right.

	yes its has. also most foam is missing behind the tongue of glass from about a span wise position of the v towards the tip. photo doesn't show it too well and the photo also masks how much is missing and its faired in, but the curve steepens quite dramatically whereas it should be constant radius. although i can contrive to capsize at any time the board is mostly under water so a functional repair is fine, but a solid one. thanks
