    Adding cleat on mast for halyard

    I'm not familiar with the 2 halyard system but am with the clamcleat. The unique feature of the one you're referring to is that it has a side entry. For the rest it has the same function and use of the regular one. I don't recommend it for use of multiple lines. To hold the line properly it...

    Adding cleat on mast for halyard

    Both are an option when used correctly. - Aluminium rivets are best when you want to 100% avoid galvanic corrosion. No matter sailing salt, fresh or brackish water. Salt water just has a faster galvanic reaction then brackish or fresh. - You can use Stainless Steel screws but you want to (try...

    Fixing leaky mast

    Hi all, just bought a Sunfish from the 2019 worlds and has water in the mast so thought to do the sealing job. I took the caps off and find no plugs inside. Do I need to have plugs in? Also, I don’t see a “reinforcement sleeve” either. Now with the caps removed, it’s just a tube

    Winter Sailing Gloves

    Check out the “helmsman glove” from Gill. Those are heavy duty too so it won’t rip up to quick when you slide the sheet through your hands when releasing

    Water repellent on sail window

    Thanks. Appreciating the feedback! Still want to try and debate it though, since I can't see "why not" in the class rules. (see below) To answer you Q: The sail is less than a year old being used a lot in the Caribbean sun. The salt water dries on it making the window "less see-through". Not...

    Water repellent on sail window

    Hi Folks, I'm sailing on salt water and have trouble some time looking through the window for boats above or below me for the salt dries/crystallizes on the window. Is it class legal to put a water repellent on it like a Rain-X type a thing? Is anybody using a water repellent and have...

    Electronic Compass

    Hi All, Can anybody please confirm or deny if you are allowed to have an electronic compass strapped to the mast while sailing regatta's? I'm thinking Raymarine/TackTick MicroCompass or Velocitek's version. I have received different answers on this question and can only see in the class rules...
