You might be ahead of it when it is in its "down" position, but if you look at where the case comes to inside the cockpit, if you are sat at the front end of the side deck, you will be level with the board, and the slot in the deck will be empty of board.  I'm sure in light winds, bums slide onto the foredeck, which in an OK is very long. The OK's board is also raked aft when down, I believe, so will be further aft than it seems at deck level.

My single handed sailing isn't my strongest point, but I've always strived to keep at least my upper body weight ahead of the CB and it is only when the wind strength is such that I'm forced aft that my troubles start.

Obviously it's not a problem off wind, but surely upwind doesn't everybody try to stay ahead of it, or at the very least opposite it, don't you start getting weather helm if you sit too far back up wind? (I don't know this, I've just always tried to stay ahead of it as I would on a board.)

Just a single sail...

I'm trying to think of a boat where you DON'T sit behind the centreboard, at least for the majority of the time?

So, are you saying the crew sits behind the centreboard then? How does that even work?

Hang on, has it got a jib then? Is it a double hander?

No, I was looking for you, but got distracted so often, even the Buzz was a distraction, wish I'd seen that OK, that looks, other than its tonnage, like a prompt for loads of my idiot questions (what is that slot on the deck for?), it does look mean and business like though.

Greame - we were 'hiding' immediately next to the Buzz stand in the Great Hall and you were spotted anyway....  we thought you were avoiding us ... so you missed your beer !
