I have a 1969 Alcort Sunfish I just got used.
I just started sailing last summer w/ a Walker Bay sailing dinghy
I keep my sunfish at my house on a Canal so I have to drop it over a bulkhead and sail off from the canal. The winds are nasty in the canal the closer you get to the bulkhead and often change direction on a whim.
I'd like to be able to rig my sunfish, then drop it into the water w/ the sail down.
Then paddle into the canal where the winds are more constant and raise the sail then move on out.
My thought was to put a pully on the halyard line so that I can get more mechanical advantage.
Attached is now I have it rigged now.
