Might search the archives,  but I remember a diagram of being posted of the pendant and associated blocks,  I believe it listed the length of line needed.

I agree with Graham. Use the yacht braid (anyone know the ideal length needed?). Yours probably was replaced with inferior line.  Keep an eye out for something sharp.  I wouldnt whip the line.

I would skip the whipping and try to find out what is fraying the line. Mine is still good after 40 years so I expect there is some rough edge rubbing on the line that might be corrected fairly easily.

Fandango's been on the hard for a few years while I went through some major changes but I finally got her in the water this summer and remembered why I like this boat so much. I've done quite a bit of much-needed maintenance and still more to come but the centerboard line was about to break so that's the priority now.

I'm thinking a whipping right where it gets cleated would be a good idea so long as it doesn't bulk up the line too much to slide through the hole. While I have the line out I might drill that hole just a little bigger. I never want to do this job again so an anti-chafe whip came to mind.

I counted 56 bolts around the trunk! They're ss phillips heads (many stripped out heads at that -- don't know why they'd be stripped -- how many times has the trunk been removed?) with washers and lock nuts. It's a royal PITA removing even the bolts with the good heads to say nothing of the stripped ones! I got about half of them off and quit for the day.
