Precision 23 Centerboard Line Breaking

Centerboard line breaking
I’m a satisfied Precision 23 owner. For two years in a row the line for raising the centerboard has frayed and broken near where it attaches to the bottom of the centerboard. Has anyone had this problem? Any solves?

Welcome to SBO Forum.
Line breaking is not unusual. It would be a bit of a pain every year. Some owners of centerboard boats prefer a more permanent solution like wire cable instead of fiber line. You might also inspect the area around the line to see if a rough edge or sharp corner is causing the chafe of the line.

Choosing Dyneema line may help.
