2. CENTREBOARD
2.1 The centreboard shall be of solid or laminated wood. The material of finishes is optional, and it may
be sheathed with GRP, but shall not be otherwise reinforced. When a centreboard is sheathed it
must still be capable of floating unaided in fresh water.
2.2 The centreboard shall conform with the diagram. The centreboard shall be not more than 14mm
thick and the thickness shall not vary by more than 1mm to within 50mm of its edges with the
exception of hollows or cavities of not more than 2mm in dimension. The leading, trailing and
bottom edges of the centreboard shall be within 5mm of a straight line and the leading and trailing
edges shall be parallel within a tolerance of 10mm.

Cheers,
