Jerry,
Does the advice on when to replace the pennant also apply to the M17?
Thanks,

Jerry,
Does resting the weight of the board on the support while trailering apply to the Montgomery 17 as well? I have a 2004 boat, but maybe the principle is the same.

Steve- The only place I've seen pennants wear is where they go thru the
fiberglass trunk- just under the teak block. If it's OK here I wouldn't worry about it, but be sure to lower the board onto the support on the trailer, so that the weight of the board won't come on the line while bouncing down the hiway. If you take the board out of the boat for any reason I'd suggest replacing it at that time whether it looks to need it or not. 5/16 double braid.

Spring has finally arrived in Puget Sound, so I am getting my 1986 M-15 ready to go sailing. The boat has held up well since I bought it new, and until recently has always been on fresh water, but will soon be on saltwater. I am wondering about the original rope used on the center board. It appears and feels firm, but after more than a quarter of a century of use, there is that part I cannot see. Should I replace it? If I do replace it, how? With what? Any recommendations?
