Hi Dave That's true- On the glass boaards the board should hang on the pennent. The glass boards are much lighter, and there is no pin anyway. The knot should allow for 15" of drop, and be careful to measure it occasionally because they seem to migrate sometimes.

Jerry,
Is it better for the new fiberglass boards to hang on the pendant or on the aft pin? I recall some comments that there should be a knot in the pendant to keep the weight of the board off the pin. My new M17 was delivered with such a knot in the pendant.

One more thing, make sure that the "keeper" tang on the upper aft corner is intact, and riding on the pin in the keel when the board is in its down position. When sailing, it is important that the board hangs on this tang rather than on the pennant. Good luck.
