I'm about to start on the manufacture of a cradle for the E25 so that I can work on the centerboard now and in the future.
I intend laminating three 3/4" exterior plywood sheets together to make Keel Profiles at two places: 6" or so in front and back of the centerboard cavity. These two profiles will be spaced and attached to each other with 4x4's in four places. The keel profiles will be lined with thick felt.
Any caveats on where the profiles are positioned?
Any danger of hull distortion doing this?
Is there a limit on how long she can sit like this without full keel support?
Any ideas/comments will be appreciated.
