It's a work day at the sailing club on Saturday. I'll have the job of checking all the Sunfish hardware, including the club sails and spars. To return halyards and goosenecks a common "starting point," I planned to use Scott Kyle's recommendations (Sunfish Bible, p 352-353). He advocates marks for the halyard at the 10th clip for light air, 1-2" farther down for medium air and 2-3" further down for heavy air. The goal, he said, was for all positions to have the goosneck 2-3" above the deck after a vang (light, medium and hard tension, respectively) was applied.
He also called for gooseneck markings at one-inch intervals from 17-23 inches
As these were written with the North racing sail in mind (albeit in 1991), are these still standard recommendations?
Thanks for any input.
