Hear! Hear!

I like that idea and I was wonder what the specs would be for the mast tube so the right one is ordered?

I use that set up on my Sunfish and find it to be very practical.

I just did this and sailed twice with. I really like the set up. I also had the block but not the cleat.

Sounds like my work on my mast is done...

So, trying to follow all the advise given above, I bought new upper and lower mast boom end caps, replaced the old corks with racket balls and used both pop rivets and pins to secure the end caps along with a little 4200. I've been up and running since the weekend before last. But I think it is...

OK, I have pop rivets, rivet gun, drill, new halyard end cap from intensity sail (...which is much beefier than the old one that below out. The rim that goes into the mast is substantially thicker. It looks like it can take a full squeeze of the rivet gun, but I'll heed Light and Variables...

This forum is great...appreciate all the tips!

Tutorial much appreciated!

Thx Beldar, and there you have it, I found a fragment of a pin in the mast when I got back and the holes for it in the halyard end cap were ripped. My guess is just old age. Will 1/8" rivets do it?

I was having a great sail today and on what was going to be my last tack of the day to head in and my halyard end cap blew out and I had to paddle in. I ordered a new one and was wondering the best way to fasten/secure the halyard end cap?

I'd like one of these please...how?

I'd like a drain plug...do you do paypal?

Question from a newb, I need to replace the halyard line on a sunfish I'm working on. Would New England Ropes Sta-Set 5mm be sufficient? Thx
