Hello,
I am in the process of drying out an 81 sunfish hull while sailing an Alcort early 70s boat that is in rough shape. All the lines are in rough shape and I'd like to replace them. At the moment, I had not planned on racing, but I would like to make sure the boat can handle heavier winds if need be and be reliable. I have my retired 7mm perlon climbing anchor cord as the halyard at the moment and the old sheet seems to be holding up.
What is the best option (and where to buy it) for a Halyard, sheet and bridal loop?
Should I tie a rope bridal with rope on rope connection or use some sort of clip pulley? Or replace with the no loop dyneema?
I'm still reading about outhauls and sail ties- I have skinny climbing accessory cord that I think will work to mess around with this
I bought the Harken 2135 mainsheet block, but have not installed it and a cleet to go on the mast for the halyard.
Other suggestions for reliability?
