We like to rig our Sunfish sail so the boom is comfortably clear of the deck, we call this the recreational rig.
The gooseneck is placed about 22 inches back, between the first and second sail grommets back from the tack.
The halyard is tied about 60 inches from the top of the gaff, 5 grommets down from the head grommet. This puts the halyard close to the aft end of the cockpit when the gaff is lying down.
Our friend Dozer likes the rig on his 1982 Sunfish VIPER.
Get more great tips on the history and How To of the Sunfish and Sailfish from The Sunfish Owner's Manual, we put it together and published it December 2013.
Catch the wind!!
