Hi Blent,
Sounds like you had a great holiday.
For teaching youngsters I have rigged my boat with a becket block in the
outer position. This allows one extra wrap in the mainsheet and reduces the
effort from 2:1 to 3:1. Adding the Vang sounds like a good idea too.
Stay cool,
Wayne

Subject: [sunfish_sailor] Supersunfish Season 2003
After a 2 weeks holiday I turned back to my office. But it was good
season. The wind was so good, sunshine was allright. This was the
first time I ride SuperSunfish, we had some problems for optimal
rigging, but get over the problems with some custom made addons.
Wind was so heavy for the first week. It was very hard for one man on
the board. Because default rig size is very big, next year I need
second spare rig about 4.7m2 for heavy winds.
Board can climbe vey good to upwind. but it has son many ropes to
handle. After using it on the water, I searched for new hardwear,
specially on the Laser web sites;
I found the "Harken Vang" for optimal solution. I hope I can buy it
for next season.
I put photos to group members photo area.
