      Hi,

      I’m about to paint the hull and need to ascertain the position of the keel band flow diverters ( for want of another description ) at the fore and aft end of the centre board slot. I’ve just taken delivery of 3mtrs of folded reinforced sailcloth which I believe when fixed into position overlap 4mm at the centreline.  Iv’e also seen on another dinghy class website that the sailcloth can be cut at an angle to assist drainage of the centreboard box.  I have not seen another GP14 in the flesh so please excuse my ignorance in these matters, never to old to learn.

      (1)  Could anyone please advise where the flow diverters are fixed and where the gasket starts and finishes including any angled cuts.

      (2) Is it best to punch out the sailcloth where the fixings pass through so save thread tearing.

      (3) I take it the Gasket needs periodic replacement. If so what’s best way to waterproof the fixing screws yet allow them to be removable.

      Thanking you in advance,   Windy.
