Hey Folks!
Hopefully this is not a captain obvious question. I have a pre-1972Sunfish with a block instead of a fairlead on the deck. The boat is in amazing shape so I am focused on upgrades. Question 1: Should I install a mast cleat if I plan to use a two halyard Jens rig? In a few videos I have seen they did not use a mast cleat, but I understand the benefits of using one.
Question 2: Should I install a fairlead or just keep the block in place? Which may be determined by the fact I may want to use two halyards.
I will be recreational sailing but the lakes I sail on have wind shifts in the evening, so being able to adjust on the water is useful.
Thanks!
