port centerboard hull slot

Here's the port side hull centerboard slot. This photo was taken looking from stem to stern.  When the cases are bonded and glassed in place, I'll smooth all the edges down and taper the aft portion of the slot to reduce hydrodynamic drag........may even incorporate gap seals similar to those used in the aircraft world. ( I once had a RAY windsurfer with the kick down centerboard fin that had a nice set of flexible gap seals that closed when the board was down....... )
