We will be trucking a Wauquiez Hood 38 some 1500 miles using a boat
transport service. The vessel has a centerboard. The trucking company
says the centerboard should be completely retracted but others have said
that the pennant is not intended to take the sort or road shock loads
that the centerboard might exert, and that the centerboard should be
lowered onto a relatively soft support, such as a softwood 2x4 placed in
the trunk opening. Anyone with any firsthand knowledge of how best to
secure the centerboard for the trip?

Thanks,
Des
