Super Sunfish Rigging Instructions?

[imported_ssminnow]

I own a 1977 Super Sunfish with recreational and Race Rigging. I understand the Race set-up is either similar to, or identical to the laser rig. Is anyone aware of any resources that explain how to set up and use the race option on this Sunfish? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The yahoogroups.com Sunfish site has good info. You need to join first (free). Then go to the Files section and look for the Super Sunfish folder.

The main difference is that the Laser mainsheet attaches to the bridle at the stern, where the Super sheets mid-boom to a block on the traveler. Can you tell me the width and length and thickness of the 3 battens for the Super sail? Thanks, and have fun!

Your suggestions have been very helpful, I believe I will be able to rig the race option now.

The thickness of the battens are just shy of
3/16th " at the widest point. The lengths are as follows. 33 5/8ths", 30" and 20 3/8ths". The width is 5/8" for each batten.

FYI, they have " Glastic Battens, Holbrook Marine Inc. " molded in relief on the tips.

Attached are four 'rigging' pictures which I just rediscovered. I made these pictures prior to selling the boat. The rig had barely been used; the hull had many years of use.

Good luck with the Super Sunfish.

Thanks so much for posting the batten sizes! A big help. Nice rigging shots - they show all the details.

Hey Wavedancer, do you know which block and clam cleat you have for your mainsheet? It looks like this is the piece that I am missing.

Thanks!
