I will respectfully request that we increase the length to 65" as per a
request made by Christian because I think my board's over-all length is
about 62". I know this is longer than the length that Bram is submitting but
I would rather not have to either cut it down or build another one. Yes I
know I am being lazy and/or cheep but there you are. I will attempt to
comply with the rules as best I can when they are firmed up either way.

Subject: CB ARGUMENT.PDF
To better explain my case, I've attached an illustration PDF of my
Centerboard length argument. Also find an attached picture of the 4 blades
that I currently use. The three long blades are all 53 1/2 to 54" long
while the cut down 49er blade on the right is 44 1/2" long.
Experience has shown that the 49er blade and the 013 blade are about equal
in above 10 knots, but that the 013 blade is faster in lighter air. The cut
down 49er blade is significantly easier to use while sailing off of a beach.
