Goodafternoon, I am new to site in October. I have spent the last couple weeks reading thru past discussions and have had a lot of questions answered. I started sailing the Sunfish in 2005 after sailing Snipes for years. I have learned that a 180 pound man sailing a 130 pound boat is more challenging than it appears, and the leval of ability / experience in this class is unmatched. I came to this realization while being at the back of the fleet in the 3 regatta's I attended this past summer. But I had so much fun, the competitors and the clubs hosting the events were so great that is just did not matter.
I currently have a set of spars that are original to my 1972 Sunfish. I have upgraded to the racing sail and have added outhaul and cunningham. Because of damage to my current set of spars
( backing over them with a truck ) I need to get a new set. The only difference I can determine between the recreational and the pro spars is the placement of the boom blocks and the addition of the cleats. Am i correct in my assumption that this is the only difference or is there any difference in the structural integrity of the spar. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
