I have a 1972 Sunfish with an original sail. It has the racing setup with the outhaul/cunningham adjustments. I race (sort of) on a small lake with about 5 other old people. Our only goal is not to be last, otherwise the beer and brats are gone!
I just obtained a new (10 year old) sail that has never been used. It was stored correctly and is in great shape. So I am going to install it next weekend.
I shouldn't have any problem replacing the old sail, but I'm curious if any of you have replaced a sail, and then said to yourself something like...
"Next time I do this, I am going to ....." or
"I wish I had done this while I had everything taken apart" or
"I wish I had known this last time I swapped out the sail!"
So if any of you have any hints, tips, tricks, or "wish I had dones", could you share them with me?
Thanks
Mike
