centerboard caps


Here's a look at the starboard side centerboard case.  I'm just now adding the "caps" or the top portion of the cases.  I am told that at speed, hydrodynamic pressure can build up inside these cases which could make for a wet ride.  To prevent water from splashing up out of these cases, I resin infused two covers


and lined the top edges of the cases with a high density closed cell "weather" stripping.  I will screw these covers down with plenty of screws.
