Edd, I can smile and relate to your cb challenges...
2 years ago when we moved Perception to the yard for winter storage I had 2 friends help.. 1 a power boater the other a sailor, asked the sailor to release the starboard jib halyard - clearly marked .... And guess which stopper he pulled .. Yup the centreboard ... And the cable snapped. We were able to hauler her and put her in her cradle for the winter. Pulled the cable out and it was badly corroded ... Just a few strands intact so over due for replacement. Arranged to have south shore yachts do the replacement - and when ghey removed the pin and remaining cable the pin was 70% or more worn thru, the thimble was also well worn ... Good thing it happened in a calm harbour .... And the admiral was not on board..... The new fittings look much more substantial and should out last my sailing days!

I'm curious to know how much credit was given. I've been told it can be anywhere from 3-9 points. ' Mine is getting bolted in place and sealed up for good tomorrow. Long story, but now is the time. Read the Captain's Log if you're curious. All the best, Edd Edd M.
