Thanks, don't think that's it though. Only started having this problem when I bought a new halyard (the boat came with washline line serving that purpose). Have been pretty careful about having it fully hoisted, but I definitely can see how this would cause the problem I'm having.

This was a big help--I hadn't noticed it, the gooseneck had been sliding around. I have it tightened at 19" now, and had a good sail this afternoon. I'd like to take it back a little further, i think these are sunfish spars. My concern had been putting too much stress on the boat with the...

Thank you. I have been moving the attachment point around. I'm looking for a low attachment point, and as I go lower I'm having this issue that the mast ends up getting threaded between the sail and the upper boom (and the two adjacent sail clips open up) if i flip over. Is there some trick...

I'd rather not cut the mast, but adjust in other ways. thanks tho.

I bought a Minifish that seems to have not-original mast and booms. The mast is 10' and the spars about 12'6. I've been experimenting with where to attach the halyard on the upper--either its too low for easy clearance on coming about, or in heavy winds the surrounding sails clips open and the...

Thanks. Minnesota. This gives me an idea of what's out there and cost.

Also, if I go with a Sunfish sail on this rig, on my MiniFish hull, am I likely to be overpowered? Am comfortable flipping over, it's not that, just wondering if its likely to be too much all the time.

Hi All, Thanks for your input and replies. It is a MiniFish sail, it does have the 2fish logo. Yes, there does seem to be corrosion near the gooseneck, so if I go the cut-down route, I will take Beldar's advice. The mast is slightly more than 10' so yes think we have the diagnosis right...

I just bought a Minifish with two minor problems. The boat was used in salt water for a time and the bailer (depersia, i think) is seized shut. Also, the booms are probably from a sunfish as the minifish sail is about a foot short of the ends on both. Questions--any thing i can do about the...
