    Sunfish mast cleat.

    thanks. so it sounds like the screws just stay in by themselves?

    Sunfish mast cleat.

    I'd like to add a cleat on the mast for the main halyard. Not sure how to do that. Since I can't access the inside of the mast for any type of bolt, what do I use to screw the cleat to the mast?

    turtling

    It's happened twice now, capsized and not just over sideways, the boat immediately turtled, making it harder to right again. Any reason why the boat would go straight to turtle?

    damaged daggerboard

    thanks, I've done some fiberglass work in the past but would rather not do more if I don't have to. I like the idea of Marine Tex.

    damaged daggerboard

    I ran aground and damaged my daggerboard. Boat did not take on water and the daggerboard trunk seems to be okay. Damage seems to be limited to the board itself. Is there any way I can repair this? Is it a bad idea to try and use it in it's current condition?

    bow repair

    Wow. I was impatient and started the repair before I saw either of your posts. I may have to repair again in a couple of seasons, but for now I sanded back a bit more and applied fiberglass. Guess I'll see how that works.

    bow repair

    So I figured out why the sunfish was getting so much water when I sailed. Huge cracking on underside of bow. Question, do i need to keep sanding or have I gone far enough? The very front seems to be in good enough shape. Or do I need to sand it out and remove it? And do I just put new fiberglass...

    Sunfish dolly

    See a used laser dolly for sale here at half the price of a new one - would this work for a sunfish too?

    Traveler/bridle preference?

    Is the mini block class legal? I have one now on my rope bridle.

    Traveler/bridle preference?

    Re: traveller preference? thanks, that makes sense.

    Traveler/bridle preference?

    I am getting ready to replace my old rope traveller with a wire one, I think both the plain wire and the one with the loop are class legal. Does anyone have a preference for one or the other, and why? thanks, Sue

    Options for a soggy fish.

    Try the first option. I did that with my boat last winter, with just two inspection ports, one up near the splashguard and one behind the cockpit. Like yours, I'm not sure what it weighed, but since two of us had trouble carrying it, 300 sounds about right. It's amazing how much lighter it is...
