Hi guys, I'm not a novice sailor by any stretch, but I haven't sailed a sunfish that much and I just got mine and haven't sailed my own boat for years. Based on all the replies I think I will go for the hexaratchet block and YES, I'll remove the hook.

When I called a place selling hardware to ask about buying the hexaratchet, he informed me that most people use simply a Harken cam cleat with bullseye fairlead, that a block is unnecessary for a small sailboat like the Sunfish (unless racing). Anyone use this setup for a Sunfish?

Thanks for suggestions. Since two Harken hexaratchets, the 3" (009) and the 2.25" (019) are suggested, is either one equally suitable for recreational use in the Sunfish? I doubt I'll be doing any racing. My racing days (in an O'Day Sprite) were really fun but I don't have time for it now.

I just got my Sunfish which I believe was new in 1990. It didn't come with any main sheet blocks, do I need them at all?

Isn't there any way to prevent Sunfish waterlogging? Mine has been sitting in a barn for 15 years and I'd like to keep her dry.
