More often than not the pin fails rather then the board itself. The Morgan 34 pointed quite nicely for a boat of that era with the board down. They don''t go to windward worth a darn without a centerboard. I remember cutting a mudflat in a Morgan 34 (might have been a 30 since I raced on each in those days.) The board touched so we pulled it up and proceeded to slide sidewards right out into the current (and the boat ahead''s lee)that we were trying to stay out of.

The board also represented a little of the ballast. The board was probably bronze plate and would need to be cut to shape. I would contact Charlie Morgan in St. Petersberg Fla and see if he has the drawings for that centerboard. It might be covered by insurance since it was lost in heavy weather through an unknown means.
