Do you know what you are looking at?
You are under water looking at a
conventional Rhodes centerboard.
One of the advantages of a still in production boat is living and learning.
In the mid eighties GB began working on a different kind of cb, based on the work of navel architect Nils Lucander. GB named their version the Diamondboard.
(see "Services" page for view)
Advantages of the diamondboard:
Less draft. Simpler maintenance.
Readily self retracts when striking anything; cannot push up and fracture the trunk cap.

GB15 POP TOP SLIDER.
A General Boats product available thru ROC membership.
This part, in effect, is one of the three legs that support
the raised Pop Top. The fact that the forward "leg" slides
in the mast slot guarantees the security of the pop top's
fore and aft movement. It is machined from solid plastic
block and has only two installed elements: A spring pin
assembly that automatically locks at the proper height
when raising the Pop Top. And a "U" bracket that secures
the Pop Top to the pop top slider and thus to the mast.

RIGGING
The Rhodes has 9 stays: 1 jib stay, 2 back stays, 2 upper
shrouds and 4 lower shrouds. (Stays that support a mast
port and starboard are referred to as shrouds.) There are
5 comforting scenarios for the 9 stays: Jib stay failure? 2
forward lower shrouds keep mast from falling on the crew.
4 lower shrouds = no mast pumping (important with IMF).
9 supports work in synergy, limiting the mast's sideways movement when going through the mast raising arc. The
2 back stays make possible a novel shock absorbing
traveler design that transforms 'Coming About' from a
'No. No', to a useful alternate coming about option.
Plus, double back stays make for rapid jib stay tensioning.
