Gotta love it. . . Sailing that is! YouTube- Sailing

Going to clip a mesh bag to the bow handle and carry 5 saftey items. Excluding Cell a phone, what would give me the most bang for the buck. So far I have. . . 1. 10 feet Spyder line with Eye-Splice on one and clip on other. Could form loop over dagger board and allow 2 people to hold on...

Went out sailing in a stiff wind with the wife and kid. Flipped after about 30 minutes of sailing. Wife and kid pulled the boat upsidedown on top of me. When I came back to the surface the wife tried using me as a flotation device and was pushing me under. Trying to hang on to the boat with...

Anyone use a extra pulley on the boom and double mainsheet block to get some mechanical advantage. Kinda tough on the arm and teeth on windy days holding the sheet. Gusting nature of small lake does not allow for a jam cleat or I'll go over.

Anyone know of a Mast Head Pully that will fit a Sunfish? Looking for the type similuar to what I saw when they drafted my butt for the Bosun's Chair and told me to unjam the Halyard on a 36 foot boat, (I'm hoping it was because I don't weight that much, not personal issues). Anyway, using...

Tried to brush on a coat of Gel Coat, could not thin it enough. Clumped up, made a mess of all my hours of sanding.:mad: Mission Accomplished, time to go sailing.

What can be done to zero out the excessive weather helm in a sunfish? I'm thinking a big part of it is the Cat rig. Can't move the daggerboard so that leaves the rudder and goose neck to play with.

Is there a metal spring plate that sits atop the top rudder strap. I've got all the parts for a old style rudder but this one. Is it necessary? If so, what is the steel thickness? Thanks.

Repairing a fish a coworker gave me. Bottom of hull has spider webs and one quarter size spot where it looks like the cockpit tub pushed through the bottom of hull. I chipped away the gel coat with a exacto knife. There is a hair line crack in the fiber glass, do I leave as-is and reinforce from...
