Mark, thanks for sharing.

On my 1991 R22, it appears that the CB pennant hoses are aft of the cabin
and forward of the cockpit so they are hidden from view.  If I had to
access that, I assume that I would need to cut out a panel of the
fiberglass at the aft of the cabin.  Has anyone on the list done that?  I
ask because I'm going to be replacing my centerboard pennant at the end of
the season.  I plan to use a messenger line to accomplish this and plan to
leave the existing hoses in place but in case that goes poorly, it would be
good to have a backup plan.
