Another nice feature of the design is that if you hit something, the
board just pivots up.

at all certain.

Sounds like the centerboard design used on the Flying Scot class; I believe
the late Platt montfort also advocated this design--search geodesic boats on
the web.

That sounds vaguely reminiscent of Fenger's Yakaboo...was it a self

I have a faint memory of reading and seeing drawings of a center board
design which does not piviot on a pin, but instead pulls forward and
piviots on the front end of the slot. The result is a greater center
board deepth without infringing on the cabin space above. I guess the
tradeoff is having a large enough and long enoug keel to house the
centerboard. I have been looking through my books, but unable to find
this design. Does anyone know where to find it? Has anyone had
experience with using this type of center board arrangement?

design which does not piviot on a pin, but instead pulls forward and
piviots on the front end of the slot. The result is a greater center
board deepth without infringing on the cabin space above. I guess the
tradeoff is having a large enough and long enoug keel to house the
centerboard. I have been looking through my books, but unable to find
