This looks like the 9.0 model with the swing keel/centerboard.  Did you do anything about your centerboard when you were redoing the keel?  My dad has the 9.0 with centerboard and redid the outside of the keel and all the centerboard he could reach with it down while the boat was hauled a few years ago.  The keel has held up well, but the centerboard trunk and centerboard are in pretty bad shape to the point that the board stuck up this past season.  We tried to pull the board out this fall and have had no luck.  We pulled the pivot pin, and have gotten the front edge of the board down a few inches and the aft end down on the ground, but cant seem to get the front to come down any further.  Was hoping you might have some insider knowledge.  Thanks!  Andrew
