Dave, Thanx, that makes sense. Steve M-15 # 335 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Scobie" <scoobscobie@gmail.com> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 5:14 PM Subject: Re: M_Boats: Centerboard clunk
Steve:
the stopper knot should be stopped just before heads into the hole and wants to 'jam'. there should be enough 'extra' for you to tie off on the cleat.
the M15 boards are not heavy (40 to 45 lbs). if you line isn't rotting or showing signs of wear it is likely OK.

Dave, The cleat is a few inches over to the side from the hole where the pennant goes to the center board. Have always used the stopper knot on my M-15, still using the original pennant and knot on a boat that built in 1985. I think by using the cleat, the center board will be a few inches shy of its maximum extension and depth. I wonder if that is really how it should be? Steve M-15 # 335
