Another minor set back

So Doug and I take it for it's second launch. The new mast fits fine and everything is fine until we try to put the centerboard down. It takes a lot of effort to get it down and subsequently becomes jammed. Back to the beach where I jump out and drag it in despite the centerboard being down.
Any ways the next day I brought the boat back home, popped it off the trailer and was able to extract the centerboard by removing the top of the centerboard case.
As it turns out the centerboard had swelled up some and had developed a bit of nasty bow. With the help of a variety of power tools I did my best to make it look straight and remove some material. Then I saturated the whole thing with epoxy and one layer of cloth.
Yesterday I launched for third time in some nasty gusty winds on Lake Laberge.
I quickly realized I was over canvassed and undermanned. The main obstacle this time was the parel bead arrangement in lieu of a proper mast traveller which by the way I have ordered but don't expect to arrive any time soon. Any ways I finally gave up after having the triple reefed lug sail get hung up on the mast acting like a square spinnaker, with the boat going sideways on the brink of broaching.
Here are a few pictures.

Ever an optimist I will be heading out again as soon as conditions permit. We are supposed to have a week of pretty good weather.
