Go to this site groups.yahoo.com/group/amfsunbird. It is a Sunbird Group. Under Photos, there are pics with dimensions of the center board and under Files there are several copies on the user manual.

It is a good site for all Sunbird & Sundird II info. You will have to signup to use the site, but it is free.

I, like most of the people who own the boat have or had problems with the centerboard sticking.

I just went on the Sunbird site but could not find the Pics with centerboard dimension, but I had downloaded them to my computer some time ago. They are two jpg's. I tried to attach them to this message but this site says I do not have permission. I can e-mail them directly if needed. They are pics with of an actual centerboard with the dimensions added to the print.
