I am new to this site. I have a Sunfish made between 1960-62, according to a former long time employee named Howard Picard. Mr. Picard also has a website for Sunfish parts. I spoke with him a couple of years ago as I needed a Bow Handle and was referred to him by Annapolis Performance Sailing. After a phone conversation, I emailed him several pictures and he stated he believed the boat was built in the above time period. The reason for this inquiry is that I need a halyard cleat. My boat's original cleat is mounted on the top deck of the boat and has 3 screws. It is cracked in 2 places and I am afraid to put the strain of the sail on this cleat. I cannot find this exact replacement. I have a replacement from APS but after seeing the posts, have decided the best place to mount it is on the mast. Also, my replacement cleat cannot utilize pop rivets since the holes go through the cleat and it is obviously meant to be mounted on the boat deck with screws. This replacement cleat only has holes for 2 screws and they will not align with the existing 3 screw holes on the deck. I am interested in the device used by Night Sailer with the picture included on this thread. Where can this device be purchased? I have owned this Sunfish for 17 years but have not used it in several years. I keep it stored in a cradle I adapted utilizing a hand crank up jet ski lift. I keep it at the top of my boathouse on Smith Mountain Lake in VA and it is completely out of the weather. I am going to use this little sailboat more since I just recently closed my real estate appraisal business and retired. I just need this halyard cleat replacement. I am very wary to try to mount the replacement one I have on the deck top. The mast mount using pop rivets seems to be the way to go. I would appreciate any information to solve this problem. Thanks, Terry
