Hi All,
I need a new line for the lower section of the centerboard up-haul rig and want to verify the diameter. I have old notes and have found a reference on this forum for 7/16 inch diameter. However, in the manual running rigging list, it specifies 5/16 inch diameter. I'm pretty sure 7/16 is the right number, but would appreciate it if someone can confirm. Thank you!

Tom;
7/16 is the number. Anything larger will not work. Most do not know how to do this and a discussion on the phone with me is suggested. Rob learned from me the other day how to do this when I changed to two centerboard control lines and yes there are things you need to know but most importantly from a safety angle
