Thought I saw a post about this once before but cannot find it. While searching for a leak around the centerboard I find this flap thing mounted on the bottom of the hull just forward of the centerboard slot. Does anyone know what this is or what purpose it serves?
I have removed it and the centerboard pivot hardware to reseal around the bolt holes... but am considering leaving this off and filling the holes - I cannot imagine what it is supposed to do other than add to drag...
