Hi!
We are been sailing several times now in our Sunfish and are all loving it. The halyard that came with our boat needs to be replaced. We also don't have a painter or a daggerboard bungee. The other ropes aren't in the best of shape either, but are fine.
I have seen the complete Sunfish line replacement kits that are sold at a few of the online sail shops. Are they good? Worthwhile? Some better than others? As we don't know what types of ropes are best for the different functions, this seemed like a good solution for us.
Our Sunfish has a loop in the middle of the traveler. Our kids have sailed other Sunfish without this loop and prefer that. Is there a way to convert ours? Is it possible to just cut the clip? I did see that is is possible to buy the other style traveler, but wasn't sure if that was necessary or how easy it would be to switch.
The picture is just for fun. I loved seeing my kids venture further out into the lake as their confidence grows.
