O'Day 25 Centerboard

[charlie newman]

Could anyone tell me the dimensions of an O'Day 25 centerboard. I have to fabricate one and this would be a tremendous help. Mine has broken off and I have about one third of the board left in repairable condition. I mainly need to know the actual overall Length. I would really appreciate any info. Thanks.

the max draft is supposed to be 6' on a 1981. minimum draft is 2'6". so add three and a half feet to the distance from the swivel axis to the bottom of the lead keel. I wouldn't build one on on this info, but it will give you an estimate.

Tough Break Charlie

I would be interested in hearing how you decide to build your new CB. Fiberglass? Wood? Metal? How are you weighting the board to keep it down? I wish I could help with the dimensions. I think TT is darn close. Its to cold to dive down and measure now. When you do figure it out, would you post it please. You may want to give Rudy a call at D&R marine, he may have them already available. Good luck.Don

Centerboard

The total length of the centerboard is 1,50 meters. Be sure it's strong enough (minehas broken 2 times). I use a steel plate with ribbons and shape the centerboard withfoam.Good Luck
