Hi folks, I picked up a new-to-me Sunfish last fall. I replaced the sail and attempted to set out today, but had a hard time getting the sail positioned properly. The more I raised the upper spar, the more the spot where the boom and upper spar meet would dip toward the deck. I tried to raise the boom and gooseneck up the mast and put some tension on the main sheet but it slowly slid back down.
As recommended elsewhere, I have the halyard tied between the 9th and 10th sail clips. I may have shifted the gooseneck when I was replacing the sail. I found a variety of measurements about where these things should be positioned but nothing seemed to mention this problem.
Any help appreciated!
