That's not your garden variety of hose. It's a very stiff PVC hose if I  
remember correctly.

Hi  Bill,

The hose was 5/8" diameter, about 2-1/2" to 3" in length, I  think.  They 
just fit above the pin, on either side of the board,  below the gasket and 
cap.  They were pretty flat (squished) so they  fit well.  I was always 
amazed at how such a simple device could  provide and elegant solution 
while 
being soft enough that if some serious  forces were applied, it wouldn't 
damage the fiberglass. As I recall, it  appeared to be made from cutoff 
pieces of the hose used for the  centerboard pennant.  Stan always was 
frugal.
