Setting out the area which needs to be re-enforced to take the weight heavy centreboard which damaged the centreboard case 

First job is to clean up the area around the centreboard pivot and then fix the new pads to thecentreboard case and then glass over thepads to make them part of the centreboard case

The new pivot bearing which will be fitted to the centreboard once the pads are glassed into position 

The marine plywood pads being glued together to make them the correct size to fit the new bearing into once these are glassed on to the case
