In this episode, we tackle a crucial step in the build: installing the centerboard case in the small dinghy I’ve been working on for the past few months. I’ll walk you through the process, sharing tips and techniques to get it right.
Plus, I’ve made an unusual decision when it comes to the paint—some might find it a bit controversial, but I’ll explain my reasoning behind it.

Let me know your thoughts on the paint choice in the comments below!
