Usualy I have just pulled on rope, which I think has allways left some hanging out the bottom. Most Mossie centreboards I have seen have been cut with a angle on the bottom, which doesn't match the bottom of the boat, leaving some angle hanging out the bottom at least.

My new centreboards leave quite a bit out the bottom when you pull on the rope, as they are longer than normal mossie boards, I may muck around pulling up to the bit where they start to taper to the elliptical tip in light winds, depends on what is going on around me I think.
