Your centerboard has some constraints as to
how fare forward from the back of the board that the tip may
reach. The class rule at this time states that the tip of the
centerboard may not reach further than 142cm from the very back
of the board.
It also states that you must put a stopper in
the top of the centerboard to top the centerboard from going
any further than 142cm.
Please
do not set up your centerboard to stop at 142cm but to stop
at 141cm-141.5cm max.
The rules also state that you should have the rubber stopper
that is in the centerboard cassette glued in with super glue.
I suggest you do this now.
Step one - the cassette
Use your super glue to glue the rubber stopper
from the front of the centerboard cassette to the cassette box.
Place your cassette box back into the board and replace the screws
after you have covered them in silicone sealant.
Step two - Pin Placement?
The best way to find out where you have to put the pin is to
put the centerboard into the board and put the centerboard tip
is in a position where it is 141cm from the stern.
When deciding where to place the pin in your
centerboard you should mark some boundaries so that the centerboard
can retracted properly. The pin should be hard and not able
to bend. Many people use Teflon plastic that mum has as a
chopping board in the kitchen. A solid bolt to go through
the centerboard and a nut to suit 5/8in. Always when making
any alterations on mistral equipment, check the latest class
rules. These rules are found on
