    Nice get indeed. I picked up almost the same block you have that is mounted on the traveler. Mine has a nicro shackle instead of the traveler car. I was wondering how it would work. You took that away with your picture. I am guessing it will work out great. Gonna have to install an eye, like _^_...

    What to do about my bailer?

    Thanks. Now, I haven't tried it as of yet. Got the boat in late fall. Only thing left is to put the mast cleat on and splash it. If it is closed, and does not leak,I will just leave it that way. I would have to cut the thing to get the retaining nut off. It sat for years upside down under trees.

    Getting started advice

    Is the sail blue and white also? Looks good. By the way, you will be taught how to sail by sailing this boat. Of course, good to get the basics, and I like the idea of getting a friend to show you some things.

    Hiking Strap Repair

    I have seen pics here of the hiking strap attached high in the front, at the hook. Then you could bolt it or if you have a ratchet block, maybe attach it there. My boat is all stock right now, but would think the strap needs to be installed.

    Cockpit Re-entry after capsize

    Interesting. Over the transom. I would try over the side first, but for sure you could not capsize again climbing in over the transom. Good idea.

    Cockpit Re-entry after capsize

    I like it. A sort of rope ladder. They sell one that is used for small boats that has a plastic step in it. Maybe stow in the storage area, hooked to a hiking strap. I just got a Sunfish, all stock, looks to be a 1972. New rudder, storage compartment, serial 102763 on a sticker by the splash guard.
