We purchased a new sail after 30 years or so and while rigging it I wondered if our locations for the gooseneck and halyard were correct. I got the halyard location from the internet but couldn't find anything about a recommended spot for the gooseneck. Ant suggestions?
 
Rigging your fish (halyard and gooseneck) will depend also on how you are going to sail her. Casual, with others on board perhaps, or hot-shot racing?
Another variable is the wind, obviously.
 
You could also look to www.starboardpassage.com. This is as racing and coaching site, but has very good, simple instructions for both halyard and gooseneck placement. Of course, you might want the halyard somewhat higher for comfort if you're not racing, but I found the gooseneck settings make for comfortable as well as fast sailing, limiting weather helm. Look under "Sunfish" folder on home page.
