Alex: I have a 2008 Telstar 28. Your videos have inspired me to do more modifications myself. My centerboard rope failed last season. I’m having the boat hauled this week. What size and length of rope did you use to replace the old line around the drum? I have the video Tony and Will made but they don’t discuss that. Thanks for any help. My board is longer than yours, hopefully that won’t make a difference.
