Thursday was fairly light. I found a few deficiencies with
the new boat (Threat). I decided to bob the tiller a few
inches, so I can sit on the back deck on light days. I plan
chuck the wooden hiking stick and replace it with a nice
hiking stick. The first things I plan to replace are the
main halyard and main sheet. Later on I'll install a couple
of carbo blocks (illegal for racing, but I like them)


Sunfishes don't race, dumbass. You have to move up to a Force Five if
you want to race.




I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.


Actually, they do. It is the largest sailboat class.

I can't remember how many boats are actively racing
It is a large number.

If I wanted to race in this sort of boat, I'd go for a Laser not a
Force Five.


500,000 or more of these boats produced.
