    Bridle Replacement

    I have read in several threads that, as long as I'm not interested in keeping my fish class legal, I can use a line to replace the bridle. Mine was the older 3-loop style. Any info on the length and thickness of the line? Any pictures of these? Thanks in advance.

    Newbie's Free Sunfish...

    ...well, almost free. I've just traded a $300 guitar for a Sunfish and I think I did pretty well considering the sail is new (not like new...I mean NEW!):D, the tiller and the daggerboard are complete and in really good shape, and most hardware is there and in working order. The hull...
