For you guys that have D's, are you rigged so that you can pull the centerboard up from the cockpit? If so does the boat come that way? He is going to be sailing in a lot of shallow water and I'd want to be able to be able to easily and quickly control the center board. Even though ours swings up I put a cockpit uphaul....
Yes, Sum, the daggerboard is controlled from the cockpit via a factory-installed line. In the first picture,
it's the white line in the left camcleat. The second picture
shows a turning block that the PO iinstalled to keep the raising line from cutting into the fiberglass edge it runs over.
I like the room you have by the sink, but I'd hate to lose the versatility of the daggerboard...but I've never sailed an S to see the way it handles, either.
thx
