While I'm not familiar with the centerboard on a Grampian26, I know that removing a centerboard can be a RPITA, as getting the centerboard pin in or out can be a nightmare. Leading the
lines that control the up and down movement of the centerboard can add more complication as well.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
