Dear CC19 skippers,
I have a problem with my centerboard halyard.
During motoring my CC19 to the place where she will stay for the winter I hit something with the centerboard. The centerboard was lifted by the “thing”, one of the advantages of the CC19. But the centerboard felt down after the “thing” with a loud bang. The halyard turned out to be “disconnected” from the centerboard. As far as I can see the wire doesn't seems to be broken but it looks of being disconnected from some hardware that fits the wire to the centerboard.
I had the CC19 lifted in order to inspect the centerboard and to see how to fix it. But with the centerboard in lowered position I couldn't see the point where the wire was connected to the centerboard (point X on the picture) because that point was still inside the hull. So I think I have to remove the centerboard to fix this problem.
To be well prepared for this repair somewhere during the winter I have some questions.
a. Does anybody knows how the wire is connected to the centerboard?
b. What spare parts do I need to fix this?
c. Are this more general parts or do I have to order the parts from Honnor Marine?
d. Any tips on removing and installing the centerboard?
Thanks for your advice.
