I scored. A nice lady had an old sunfish sitting in her back yard. It had a lot of lichen growing on it but I cleaned all that off and it looks like it's ready to go. (except for some sail rot). I'm confused about how to rig this boat. There were no lines included. There are two spars and a mast. I'm not sure how I keep my sail raised. Also there is a big metal ring on the boom that slips over the mast but how do I keep the other spar attached to the mast near the top? Further I'm not sure how I attach a line to the end of the boom so I can adjust it while underway. There is a length of wire rope attached across the deck near the transom. It has a small loop in the middle. Is that for a tiller safety or is it for the line to my boom? I don't really want to lay out the cash for a Sunfish bible for two reasons. One is I'm going to have to lay out a bunch of cash for a new sail and two, It has a lot more info than I need anyway. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
