On my 06 WB when on a port tact I can hear a vibration coming from the keel area. When running or on other points of sail the vibration is gone. Any ideas and/or fixes???

Bruce,
I had a similar problem.
The centerboard line can vibrate when it's too tight.
Next time, give it some slack.

Does your centerboard clunk at the dock, or at anchor?
I just had centerboard shims installed.

I sailed on Clearlake last 4th of July.
We are planning to sail again this year.

Russ, can you give some details of the centerboard (swing keel) shims?
The keel slap is a big issue for me, need my sleep!

Paul,
I searched the forum for "shim" and found your previous post.

I guess you're still having this problem.
Mine turned out to be more than just centerboard shims.
I will post a new topic later this week (with pictures of course).
