Hi Jack,
The halyard should go through a fairlead (looks like a little 1 finger size
handle) on the deck at the base of the mast. It then ties off on a cleat
just behind the mast.
See the group FILES area in the Repair Guides folder > Parts Guide, Files,
Halyard 1 and Halyard 2.
Hope this helps,
Wayne

Subject: [sunfish_sailor] Rigging the sunfish
This is my first post to this group. Monday I got out my new boat
and started to rig the sails, rudder and center board. It was not
the easiest process. The one thing that I need to know is where does
the halyard rope pass through on the deck? I got the halyard down to
the deck and found two possible places, one near the mast and the
other near the edge of the boat. As you can tell I am not a sailor,
never sailed before, so I tried to follow the instructions
carefully. They were not very helpful.
Where does that halyard go????
