JD. is now officially 6 years old. She is kept out of the water on a trailer unless we are sailing. We always sail salty.

Any idea of the life expectancy of the vectran centerboard haul line?

Since you are trailer-sailing the boat, it should last a very long time, assuming the line is kept out of the sun while stored on the trailer. Check for fraying, and replace if you see any. You could also reverse the line or cut it and reconnect to the centerboard to change the spot where it hits the cleat.
