    I need to change a few things to do with my daggerboards. I did see a photo that was an elegantly simple way to lower the board.
    Line was attached to the deck/hull out board of the DB, went up and through a circular fitting (some sort of low friction piece) in the top section of the board and then back down to deck in board of the DB and through a turning block and on, I guess, to a winch. Wonder if this is familiar to anyone here who might know about this circular fitting and if its manufactured and available, or suggest how to create one.
    Thanks
    Perry
