[Rhodes22-list] Centerboard Pendant Questions

[mtroy at atlanticbb.net]

I agree with Peter. The centerboards are not that heavy so you don't need 
the extreme strength of dyneema. What you really need are chafe resistance, 
a good feel to the hand and a solid catch on the cleat. I think the 
traditional braided line works well for each of those requirements.
