Default Securing centerboard when trucking boat

We will be trucking a Wauquiez Hood 38 some 1500 miles using a boat
transport service.

Why? ISn't that contrary to the boat's intended purpose?

True, and it gets shorter every year. All the more reason to SAIL while
you can!

BTW it's a nice boat. A friend of mine bought one earlier this year.




Maybe just remove it completely and ship it separately? Can't weigh
more than a couple hundred pounds, if that. Probably want to service
the pin anyway.


Good Idea, that'd work too. And servicing/replacing the pin is a also a
great idea. Be ready for a bit of grunt & groan in putting the board
back in, getting it aligned can be bit tricky.

There are a lot of CB boats out there with problems, many with their
boards bolted in place permanently. It's nice to have the shoal draft
capability but it's a maintenance hit.
