Hi Joan Great looking boat. For the Minifish the rigging guide suggests that the halyard be positioned at approximately 6 1/2 feet up from the foot of the upper boom. Yours looks a just a tad bit

Michael Nice looking dolly, lokks light and sturdy, with excellent support for the boat under the cockpit. The PVC pipe spacer for the axle is an excellent idea. Nice looking boat too. Thanks for

I made one that’s perfectly stiff, and works beautifully, but it isn’t light at all — this was for a Tech dinghy whose original rudder sank in a capsize. Its weight comes from: — the blade
