Okay, this is hard to talk about. I am done building my Skerry, starting to rig the sail and getting excited, when, looking at the plan, I realize that I installed the center seat facing aft, instead of forward, so the centerboard trunk is too far aft, and the thing will never sail properly. Once I got over planning a bonfire, and then never talking about sailing again, I started considering options. One, is to cut it all out- trunk and seat- and starting anew. I don't like that, messy, too much work and not very creative. So I'm thinking.that I need to build another centerboard trunk and mount it forward of the center seat, in the proper place, leaving the existing one in and saying all sailboats should have two centerboard options, on for running downwind and by the way it's better for rowing. Or I could mount a new trunk and making the wrong trunk a big hole for a trolling motor. Make it so the motor lifts out of the water when not in use. Add's a touch of luxury
At any rate I don't think I can just leave it and use the existing trunk but I'm not sure about the best way to add a trunk, so I'm open to all advice. thanks! Suffering Bob
