I'd like to add a cleat on the mast for the main halyard. Not sure how to do that. Since I can't access the inside of the mast for any type of bolt, what do I use to screw the cleat to the mast?
It's happened twice now, capsized and not just over sideways, the boat immediately turtled, making it harder to right again. Any reason why the boat would go straight to turtle?
I ran aground and damaged my daggerboard. Boat did not take on water and the daggerboard trunk seems to be okay. Damage seems to be limited to the board itself. Is there any way I can repair this? Is it a bad idea to try and use it in it's current condition?

I need to install some inspection ports on my sunfish and am trying to gather as much information as possible.
I have a copy of the sunfish bible, and on page 332, in an article titled The Workbench, it begins to explain how to do this.
However, in my book, page 332 has three columns. Column...
