Re: M_Boats: Little Squirt

Can't say if this of any help... When I looked at Alina (M-17) there was a knot in the CB rope. The there was a good amount of sail tape wrapped around in a taper in the end that goes into the hole. When I asked about it, Bob Campbell told me there was two purposes. First, the knot made it so the board would not quite bottom out and would keep the pressure off the cb stop pin and second, the sail tape was shaped (tapered) so as to act as a stopper in the hole to keep water out.
