I have a 33-II with a centreboard whose pendant broke a couple of years ago. I had Rob From South Shore yachts make and install the new one. They had an eye fitting roll swagged on the lower end, which the fed down and attached with a pin to the board, then hand swagged 2 fittings to make the eye on the deck end.
When hauled the board swung just far enough forward to allow you to reach up and remove and replace the pin. Have a new pin ready! Ours was just about worse thru.

Today as I was going to drop the keel, from its normal 4 1/2 ft to 7 ft, the line was slack. After diving underneath, the keel is down but it is hard to tell what exactly is going on. My assumption is 2 things: Either the cable broke, or the pin that the cable attaches to has broken. I have a few questions: 1. Can this be repaired while in the water with a diver? Not a great option to pull locally without demasting. 2. If I can’t repair immediately, would I cause damage to the keel by sailing as is for a bit? I didn’t know if there was a stop keeping the keel from droppiing too far? 3. If it is the attachment where the cable connects to the centerboard, does any one have specs on that connection or pictures?
