[Rhodes22-list] Centerboard won't drop/ control line size

[Michael D. Weisner]

Peter,

Why would you use line that is thinner than 1/4"?

The cam cleat may not engage and it might hurt your hands to pull on it.

I'm wondering about using 3/16" line for the centerboard pennant.  I think quality line should be up to the task strength-wise.  Do you all think that the cam cleat will handle the smaller line?  Any downside to using 3/16?
