The center board situation is certainly a concern. I plan on going for a sail in the next few days to see how bad (or good) it points without the CB.....
So just how did this test work out? I would wonder how to simply determine the effect of losing the centerboard. You don't need to so much test the pointing ability of the boat, as to determine the amount of leeway that occurs when sailing on the wind. Your boat might point like a charm, but with excessive leeway you'll never get upwind...
