Last fall I got my boat into sailing condition and got some good outings. She’s back in ‘dry dock’ now for a final fitting out of all the niceties.

One thing that I didn’t like last fall was having no good place to put the dropboards. I finally figured out they fit nicely along side the centerboard case. So I printed some small pieces to hold them in place:

Oh and so glad they got this site up and running again!!

Hm... I had the same idea but the edges stick out into the cabin below the opening. Consequently, I dropped this idea as I am afraid of s.o getting injured. I still have no solution (but we are still building).

Yes, it does. I haven’t ‘field tested’ this yet, so I might find it to be a problem. The other option I was thinking about was inside, under the cockpit seats. That would take more design thought.
What have others done?

I just stick them in the cabin, along one side, with the bottom edges supported by the outer edge of the floorboards.

Doug, this is not clear to me. They just lean against a side-panel at the starboard or port side?
