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?
