MKF Weekend Day 1 Careening

Unfortunately, Zephyr's centreboard was playing up again this morning, so we had yet another working party to try to fix it. There is a theory that Zephyr has spent more time on her side being fiddled with than upright being sailed in.

Howard and I reckoned we were more useful supervising from our canoes:

Fred found a hi-tech method to get the mud out of the centreboard case

The theory was that the rope was snagging (there is some wear)
We replaced the red rope with a thinner, blue, rope but unfortunately the knot seems to snag worse than before, dammit. Now the centreboard is stuck protruding a bit.
