Just an added note: My yard is now working on a Tartan 40 with the very same arrangement. CB pivots at the leading edge of the keel and the fitting for the cable on that boat is actually a block anchoring system where the end of the cable is located up in the trunk and the block at the CB gives a 2:1 purchase up through the keel into the cabin.....
The CB block anchor corroded and just pulled out....... Seems to be the standard design for such a system..... Ron C.

Then everything is reasonably accessible. The pennant travel passes thru a cabin top 'stop', then a sheave directing it vertically thru a SS tube thru the cabin floor to another sheave that directs it horizontal again just beneath the cabin sole to another sheave that directs it vertically thru the cb trunk/keel to the aft end go the elliptical board. This is different than the sketch Edd provided. I'll send it out when I get to a computer with it loaded on it. This drawing was done by Rob Bell in Oct 1993. The sheaves are mounted in SS 'boxes' that have watertight SS access ports for inspection and running new pennants--both well below the waterline! Further the keel bolts are into the cb trunk 'outside' the space that the cb occupies. I now have the pennant inspected during each yearly haul out for bottom painting, etc. and plan to replace it on a 5 year basis unless the yearly inspection indicates that it should be replaced sooner. I know a lot more about cb design than I should but such is the life of a cb boat owner. Given my use of the boat and where it 'lives', I would buy another one without hesitation although I think a lifting keel would be the best but probably more costly.

I'm not sure about those few keel bolts other than to think they don't go down that far so the board can go up. As you can see, with the board down, the cable access is still deep inside the trunk - my divers were unable to get in there with any light/tools. I'm told the only way to replace the cable is to haul the boat at least 8 feet in the air, take apart the table so the steel tube and access to the pulley below the waterline can be reached and taken apart. Then snake the cable through and have someone try to reconnect inside the trunk (not a lot of space to work with). My club can't get the boat that high, so every time I would want to replace the cable, I'm looking at a commercial yard with commercial yard rates (they'd have to do the work too.) $$$$$.

Are they on either side of the centerboard? And the pendent is fed thru a tube sealed to the cabin floor? How do you access the pulley that is placed below the waterline?

I'm told that the 34+ and XL centerboard models are very similar. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15162917/ENTERPRISE/centerboard.pdf Also, a correction on the site: Under C&C Owners Homepages, could you change my link to www.starshipsailing.com <http://www.starshipsailing.com/> ? Also, the Enterprise isn't a 37/40XL, but a 37+ (or 37/40+) Lastly, I have some photos of the 37+ interior and "Dock Photos" if you want them. What is the best way to get these to you?
