The Mighty Cast Iron Centreboard
On Christmas day Santa came through with the goods! I'm now the proud owner of 180kg of foiled cast iron!

In between the turkey, ham and beer the bros in law and I wrestled the beast from one Santa sleigh to the other.

It is going to be interesting moving this thing around to finish it off!
I would just like to thank everyone for all the advice and suggestions I received re foundries and alternate construction methods. In the end I ran with the cast iron option as specified by the designer and it has come out a treat. Thank you Billman's Foundry!
Final finishing and painting of the centreboard is still to come but the hard bits been done!
