We plan to go sailing on Skipper's 1965 Alcort Sunfish WAVE in a few days, and to get to the water we'll be using the new MicroSport trailer. We like to have everything on the boat checked out before we get to the beach, so we do a little land sailing at the house to check that we have all of the boat bits...important things like PFDs. the halyard, sheet, rudder, daggerboard, coffee...
For the next sail Skipper chose to fly her alternate mainsail, I rigged the boat and Skipper worked the sheet from her deck chair.
We like to use decommissioned running rigging for sail ties and other "tie-tie" duties. This line came from ONKAHYE's original 1980 halyard, so we spent some time today putting a spiral whip of waxed thread on the end to make things ship shape.

Two ends done, two to go.
