us deviants in the B14 fleet refer to that stuff as "Polar Bear Pubes". Conversations are then held in the boat park about trimming pubes. |

Whatever happened to removing the centreboard bolt and packing the gap between board and case with discs (with holes in the middle for the bolt) cut from milk cartons??? That's what I used on my Ents....cheap and dirty....just how I like it!!!!

Radiator hose from a car spares shop. It is softer than plastic hose pipe. Cut a piece out from the top edge of centre-board about 2.5 inches. insert 2 x 2.5 inch(approx) screws through the hose splaying it out beyond the width of the board. Adjust tightness of screws to suit friction.

When I say radiator hose I meant heater hose about 3/4 inch diameter
