Hi all thx for the suggestions and advice. I was cleating the halyard to the cleat. But on the cleat of the boat not the mast. This because the cleat on the mast is loose. I will be fixing this or if not possible buy a new mast to use a slip knot and cleat it on the mast. This way I can keep it...

Thnak you for the tips, what would be the best place to buy the non stretch halyard in us. I will have to ship it. Also what would be the best spec for this hallyard?

Almost forgot they don't have sunfish but it gets close to it. All inclusive hotel. http://www.breezes.com/activities.htm#activities

Well after sailing with my Sunfish many I have an issue that annoys me a lot. Somebody explained me with words how to fix this issue but of course I can't remember all of it precisely hopefully you guys can help me out with pictures or animations. After raising the sail by pulling down on the...

On Curacao there is no such thing I believe. However there is a place where you can rent Sunfish and just stay at any hotel. Prices are Sunfish, Splash per hour $20.00 per 3 hours $50.00 every additional hour $16.00 for more information http://www.prosailcuracao.com/

My2Fish is correct, the app is named Endomundo endomondo and indeed it has a specific "Sailing" specific activity. It is possible to pick many activities. I believe it adjusts the way it records and shows the distance/speed etc with knots. I used it on my blackberry (ugh i know blackberry suck...

Hi all, Thanks again for your help getting my boat sail ready. Been sailing a couple times, also at westpoint but yesterday I went sailing with somebody along @ Spaanse Water and I took the risk of taking my phone with GPS with me. This is the result. It was a lot fun with lots of wind. Even...

Thank you all again. Will follow the recommendations.

Thank you Wavedancer will do this to. I also thought it would be better. I continue to ask questions. As you know I have the following main sheet swivel block I was wondering if using a spring on it is recommended? Also anybody has recommendations of a perfect sized watertight bag that would...

Signal Charli I noticed you gave me the tip to put the halyard about 60 inches down from top of the upper spar (5-6 sail rings down, but I noticed the amount of sail rings I have on my sail are 17 instead 14 as I can count on the pictures of your Sunfish. I assume this is because I have a...

Thank you for the compliments and also thank you all for the help getting me back Sunfishin. Being sail champion I don't know yet, but I sure as hell will enjoy sailing. Will be going to other places with the trailer to discover sailing curacao. I already have some other spots in mind.

Indeed the pictures:

Thank you Tag. A very clear description and instructions how to use the mast cleat. Sounds nothing else then the usual rigging. I've been sailing now for 2 days. Getting use the knots and rigging the boat took a while, but I managed eventually. First day of sailing went pretty good. I did not...

Thank you Wavedancer. I bought eventually the snaphook. Everything except for the mast cleat is completely fixed. Tomorrow I am going to sail for the first time in years again. Thank you all for the support suggestions and tips. Would have taken a lot longer without your help. I'll try to make...

Thank you for the answers Sailcraftri. What are the dimensions of the "S" hook? Perhaps I can get it at a hardware store? Indeed rope would be a good alternative.

Update - Nr. 3 is no longer a issue anymore. :) Got some more questions: 4. Where can I get this (hook) part and name of part? I am talking about the part between the sail en the interlocking eyebolds. Maybe there is a better picture? This part seems to missing, but I bet there is a cheap...

Signal Charlie thank you for the precise instructions including pictures and video's. Like they say a picture is worth a thousand words, video I probably can't count ;) . Have to look how I could possibly get my hands on or somebody that might have a gun to put in the rivet. Any suggestion what...

I talked to a welder today and he says the thinks he can do it, but of course has to take a closer look at it before. He says he did it before in the past with success but every case is different. I will bring the lower boom to him and get his opinion about it and inform you all about it. Then...

Sound like a very creative solution, but it could work indeed. Perhaps something more for the future since I don't have that much experience in fixing boats etc. Thank you for the rigging manual and the compliment for my boat.

I have to say your intuition was spot on Sailcrafti. The boat was indeed used for racing. Sailcrafti and Wavedancer thank you for your suggestions and help. 1a. Since I am not that experienced yet I have to agree with Wavedancer to leave the lower boom as is. I do like the trailer idea, never...
