Wooden Sunfish Zip Bridle, Bow Line and Daggerboard Retainer Upgrade



Working on the bridle. 3 loop bridle was a near capsize disaster.

Cut a line just a bit longer than the stern is wide, leave excess for figure eights or stop knots.

We like to use clip mainsheet to a block, it seems to glide easier.

Made a bow line so Zip doesn't get loose at the saloon.

Added a daggerboard retainer line,clip and eyestrap, don't want to be chasing that if there is a capsize.
