minifish set-up

HI,
I acquired a minifish and am having some difficulty setting it up. I took it out for
a spin the other day and had a blast but I know the lines were not set up
correctly. Any suggestions or id3eas where I might find a guide book ro
something on how to set up the boat properly? Thanks much

Hi Ron,

There are some photos of a Minifish in the group PHOTOS area. These might
help some. If you'd like larger copies and have a highspeed connection
contact me "off list" and I will email the larger versions to you.

I've never rigged a Mini, but it looks to me like it's exactly the same as a
full size Sunfish. See if the Sunfish rigging manual in the group FILES area
provides some assistance.


Wayne

Hi Ron,

I also recently acquired a Minifish. Although I haven't sailed the
Minifish yet, I have used it's sail and spars on another boat. It is
just like rigging a Sunfish. The only difference I can see is that
the Minifish doesn't have a bullet block near the bottom of the mast
to run the halyard through and then over to the halyard cleat. The
Minifish just has the halyard cleat near the bottom of the mast.

As Wayne suggested, check out the Sunfish rigging manual and the
photo section too. If you're still not sure about something, let us
know. I have a copy of the Sunfish Bible, but I didn't see any
reference to the Minifish in it.

Hi,
Thanks. I sort of figured. I sailed it set-upo like I
thought it should be and it worked, it just did nto
look right to me. Thanks for the help!
