Default making a centerboard for my sailboat? (Escape Rumba)

| water-proof seal ??
|
| Or, I could glue the old one back together?

Forget all about wood, epoxy and other high maintenance systems
that will warp, bend, crack and swell.

Get a piece of Starboard plastic and fashion your centerboard
from it. You will have a trouble-free centerboard.

West Marine sells it locally.
