I am thinking of modifing my daggerboards to be raised by rope from across the tramp.
I already know of the cut groove system but I dont want to risk weakening my boards. I thought I might try a thin cloth material about 1cm wide to run down the leading edge and glue and fasten it 160mm past half way point on the boards to be able to raise them completely. This cloth would go through the raising pully and tie onto rope to extend across the tramp.

Has anybody tried this or another variation to this method? Any recommendations of the thin strip cloth like material that needs to wrap nicely to the leading edge and feed through a pulley.
