So I dun got bit by the sailing bug...
Only to be expected, I don’t like power tools and grew up near the ocean most of my life...
Anywho to introduce myself my name is aaron, I live in central NC and am 31yo
I literally just bought my first sailboat, an 80s-90s vintage sunfish, and trying to figure out the rigging. Before she hits the water she needs a new sail and ropes, but in the mean time I need to learn to rig her...
I found an excellent video about how to rig a new sunfish but the problem is my boat is obviously older than was in the video, the boat they showed had a cleat on the mast and mine does not
So my questions start with how do I rig her without the cleat, or should I add a cleat to the mast?
