Re: Issues and questions rigging a new boat - hardware placement on boom, attaching sail
I am sorry for your experience in buying a new sunfish. The dealer should be able to help you if they have any decent customer service. The dealer that I use, The Dinghy Shop, commissions every

Re: Issues and questions rigging a new boat - hardware placement on boom, attaching sail
Both outhaul and Cunningham should end with a loop (bowline), or daisy chain, for easy handling. Typically, these hang within arm's length of the sailor, who is sitting up front, near the daggerboard

Re: Issues and questions rigging a new boat - hardware placement on boom, attaching sail
So where do you plan to be sitting when you want to adjust the outhaul?

Re: Issues and questions rigging a new boat - hardware placement on boom, attaching sail
Yes I got a white "race" sail. It came with a bag of plastic rings which are nearly impossible to put on. The first quote was $4220 for the 2019 race boat and race sail. The bill of sale was $ 4505

Re: Issues and questions rigging a new boat - hardware placement on boom, attaching sail

Re: Issues and questions rigging a new boat - hardware placement on boom, attaching sail
Hi, congrats on your new boat! Haven't had many reports of new boats here, but someone will have an idea or two. As far as we know the sail numbers come from the International Sunfish Class

Re: Issues and questions rigging a new boat - hardware placement on boom, attaching sail
The outhaul and Cunningham cleats are positioned forward on the boom so you can easily reach them while sailing.

Re: Adapting the "Race" sail rig for two people
I set my spar high up (72¡±)so it is easier to see what¡¯s on the other side of the sail. Haven¡¯t got a window on my sail. I set the gooseneck at 22¡±, and don¡¯t change things for high or low

Re: Adapting the "Race" sail rig for two people
Just tie the halyard attachment lower down on the spar so it raises the sail height. I have an old sunfish and it just ties on with a secured clove hitch and figure 8 knot (so it does not slip.

Re: Adapting the "Race" sail rig for two people
Thanks Kent. That seems doable. It looks like if at the same time I wanted to get rid of any weather helm on a windy day, I could just set the whole sail more forward-- so more of it was farther
