Tim, Yes — Your board setup is very different than the 34+ or 37+ series. A competant diver should have no problem rigging a new one for you. And YES(!!!), do it before it breaks so you can use the existing cable to snake the new one through the system. A break, especially inside the cabin or under the floor, will be a bitch to replace.
As for length, since you have the plan image you shared and since you know the LOA of the boat, it should be pretty easy with a ruler to extrapolate the length of the cabling. … Glad to see my centerboard woes of a few years ago is the stuff of legend . . .

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... -- Tim Rutherford C&C 36' Chamame' tim.rutherford.m...@gmail.com <mailto:tim.rutherford.m...@gmail.com> 813 748 4888 cel/text On Wed, Jun 13, 2018 at 11:03 AM, Ken Heaton <kenhea...@gmail.com <mailto:kenhea...@gmail.com>> wrote: Edd Schillay sent this out to the list some time ago.

The previous owner said it's *easier* to change before it fails rather than describing the dire situation you encountered. A diver in our club has done it many times here on C&C's of various lengths, probably older models. He also described having to use the winches to run a line under the keel once to raise it when it failed, so he could get back in the slip and didn't mention a concern for damage. Maybe just lucky. I think if it let loose and that 800 pound steel blade fell through it's full arc to the stop I would have a real concern for damage to the trunk. Hopefully someone has some info. It seems the centerboard versions weren't well documented. -- Tim Rutherford tim.rutherford.m...@gmail.com <mailto:tim.rutherford.m...@gmail.com> 813 748 4888 cel/text On Tue, Jun 12, 2018 at 10:34 PM, Charlie Nelson via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: I have a 1995 36XL with a centerboard so YMMV. My 1st pennant (wire) failed after about 15 years and destroyed the board when it let go. Since then, I replace it about every 5 years and I have stayed with wire on the yard's recommendation although I have considered using high tech line. On my boat, the pennant pretty much has to be replaced with the boat on the hard so a new one is made and sized properly with the boat out of the water. Carrying a spare is not useful since if it lets go, replacing it is basically impossible in the water. Plus if it lets go in the up position (where else!), replacing the pennant will be a minor problem compared to getting the board (or what's left of it!) back up so you can get into a shallow water slip.

No issues yet, but I understand they are easier to replace *before* they fail. I have the manuals but there are no drawings or data tables with mention of the details on the centerboard model. Previous owner supplied contact info for a shop that made the previous Technora replacement but he couldn't locate any records of the transaction.
