I love my 212, it is a great boat. Two things that are going on are: 1. The area just aft of the mast-support-post, on the floor, where it seems the pivot of the centerboard is... leaks just a bit in heavy seas (heavy seas for a 21' boat). It results in unusable storage space (except thank goodness the beer cooler). Any suggestions regarding this would be appreciated. 2. The rudder assembly is a bit weak, would anyone see why I couldnt add a few bolts into the assembly to sure up some play that it has? There is a sleeve that the actual tiller fits into and this is where the play arises. I would like to bolt the tiller into the sleve that connects it to the rudder. What type of bolt should I use(metal type) and is there a reason that this is obviously dumb that I haveent thought of? Has anyone out there put a chute on theirs? How'd that work out. -Scott
