My new sail should be arriving in a few days, and I have a couple questions regarding the installation of the new sail to the spars/boom.
For frame of reference, I'll be using the sunfish manual found here, starting on page 5/9.
1. Should I set up for general use or racing? I don't plan on doing any racing, but which method is superior?
2. Should I buy new lines? The ones that came with the boat definitely have some age to them, and though they seem fine, would I be better off replacing it? If so, what kind of line do you recommend?
3. Should my mast have a cleat? I've been watching a lot of rigging videos and noticed in this one there was a cleat on the mast.
Anything else I should know, feel free to to share. I'll be putting in an order with intensitysails.com, so if you would like to point to anything there that I may need, feel free to do so!
