Thanks for thinking of that Ken. I remember Edd's post and read it with interest but my setup is completely different. My centerboard blade (from memory) is only about 9 inches wide and extends about 3 feet down from the trunk. There's a picture of it in this cut sheet. 36b3p03 (cropped).jpg <https://drive.google.com/file/d/11mde7_G5F2A35piMtjzEzQSM_JFmG6m8/view?usp=drive_web> I'm starting to think I'll maybe ask a rigger to make a thimble onto a long piece of Dyneema that I can then pull in, cut to length, and then make a second thimble on topside for connection to the blocks. It would be great if I know the length though...
