[Rhodes22-list] Centerboard Pendant Update - Another Attempt to Post

[Chris on LBI]

Ric,

For the replacement blocks, I used stainless blocks that I had laying 
around in my garage. They have a 1" wheel (sheave?). The body that holds 
the center pin in place runs up one side of the wheel, across the top 
(to form a retaining loop) and back down the other side of the wheel. 
For the two blocks fastened to the aft of the centerboard I had to 
modify the body by cutting the retaining loop at the top-center and then 
spreading the two sides of the body so that it fit around the aft of the 
centerboard. The bolts that run through the centerboard go through each 
side of the block body.

I did notice that the centerboard had a slot cut into it where the bolt 
runs through. This slot appears to be for the type of block that you used.

My new blocks may be the weak link in the system now. Time will tell.
