Then, my boat being from China could be Commie Cruiser
Thinking about getting a red and white striped sail for my boat out here
I use para-cord and never have a problem. You can knot a loop in the center or
leave as-is and experiment with a traveler for the cost of zilch. Simple is better.
In a pinch, paracord could tripled-up (to take the stretch out of it) securing the mainsheet to the two-loop bridle using a bowline.A few minutes ago I had never even heard of "paracord". Now that I am better informed, I can safely say that it is unsuitable for almost anything on a sailboat.
Ever towed a Sunfish fast (on the water) with the daggerboard removed?You guys are brutal
Nylon is preferred for dock lines, anchor rodes and maybe the "painter" line to tow the fish to "preferred" waters.
That said, my Sunfish has never seen a dock line, other than to lash it to the trailer, an anchor....and towing is a "sin". -)
Yes if you only plan to sail recreationally this sail is fine. Laser Performance makes the authentic Sunfish sails at a good price if you decide to replace this one.
I’d install a ratchet block with the option of side deck cleats if you think you need them.
Check the vertical bolt on the transom. It should be ina vertical tube. Seems unimportant but actually helps keep rudder from shifting side to side and popping up while underway. If you need a tube there are some posts on this board about getting the right dimensions
Nice boat - nice find!!
$15, shipping USPS Priority Mail included.[/QUOTE
I'd like to puchase the tube. How do I set this up? Do you have a site?
Capture pins?If you can get the cap off and nut loose, you can put in a new ball. Assuming the capture pins are still there...
Depersia doesn’t have those pins. It is cast with a smaller opening.
