Living only 50 miles +/- from the Sunfish Worlds Regatta,my regional newspaper has had some nice coverage of the event. I noticed that in one picture, the gaff of the sail was not raised to the top of the mast. I looked through other pictures (from different angles)and noticed the same things on other boats. Does anyone have an explaination of this trim?? I have always been led to believe that the gaff was to be raised and secured to the top of the mast.
