Can you help?
We are extremely grateful for all the tips and advice that have
been received. We are seeking information on the technique used to lower/raise the centre board plate in
a rowing and sailing lifeboat like the Charles Henry Ashley (for reference the
lifeboat is the 38ft Watson type supporting one drop keel). Any
help will be gratefully appreciated. Please
get in touch via the Contact Section. |
