Rigging a Sunfish

[@johnpublic5628]

Great Job!! I love your enthusiasm and fun attitude !

[@hblanchette799]

Loved this video! ! It had the clearest instructions on how to rig a sunfish that I've seen so far. Thanks so much!

[@joejaques5164]

Nicely done young lady! I have an old Sun Fish... and you have a fantastic tutorial!

[@tracyriley9901]

I just got a minifish and have no idea how to set it up and have had trouble finding a manual. Your video helped us a ton! Thanks for posting. Arrrrg

[@acudoccc]

THANK YOU!! Got my boat in the water thanks to you!

[@andygreever8684]

Great video! I hope you enjoy sailing for the rest of your life. There are always new things to learn about sailing!

[@masonmitchell4050]

A keel is fixed to the hull and usually has considerable weigh to it. Dinghies like sunfish have daggerboards.

Fantastic! and Entertaining! recomendations: 1) use a timber hitch instead of a clove hitch, 2) raising the sail is easier if the eye on the gooseneck is on the starboard side of the boom, the same side as the block, 3) the daggerboard goes in with the straight edge forward. bon voyage!

great instructional!! i checked craigslist and plenty of sunfish for sale cheeeeep!! now i want to start saving to get one.

[@RealManSkills]

Wonderful presentation! I noticed that you lost your eye after 4 weeks of plundering the high seas. I hope it heals up. Thank you for an informative and entertaining video!

arrr love the jolly rogers sail... I see this was 7 years ago I bet you are sailing a 36ft sloop or greater now great job on the video kiddo

[@Yeaitstemp]

The daggerboard is to help point to windward for directional stability you pull it up going downwind you dont need it to steer you have to have movement over rudder to steer

Awesome video! I love the Sea Scouts sweatshirt! Your Venture Crew Advisors should be able to use this video to get you well underway on a Bronze Award (it's called something different now but it's the same)! I'll be saving this video for teaching the Crew how to rig MY sailboat! Thanks! VC2170 Advisor

[@FlowmotionWasTaken]

Great video, but I would have liked to see you show us how to tie the cleat hitch

[@chroniclesofstuntbucket3522]

Cool sail.

[@MrArchie765]

It’s a centerboard. Good video!!!

[@tellett1]

Kudos for showing how to tie the halyard to the spar, but you have the daggerboard ("keel") in backwards.

[@alcourtines4707]

Sheet line should should have a snap cleat that swivels. Not a bad vid. I’ve been doing thses boats for 47 yrs.

[@claystiles5789]

Well done, Mateys!

[@squirrellysquirrels1167]

I just could not find the Jolly Roger sail for my sunfish, Moon Shimmer.

[@saxomaphonegirl6]

Thanks, it started out as a speech project for school.

[@clydeosterhout1221]

saxomaphonegirl6 hope you got the "A" that you clearly deserve. Nicely done!

[@hedojake]

INCONCEIVEABLE!!!!

[@steverogers1976]

Arrrrrgh. 🏴‍☠️ 👍

[@anthonycelano1235]

Everything's good but I wouldn't trust a clove hitch to hold my sail

[@kris9377]

very nice, thanks

[@carterbusby239]

do you do sea scouts?

[@timmit3579]

Good vid; I've heard from others that the sail framework should be on the left side of the mast instead of the right side...(Don't see as it makes a difference, but that's what I've heard ....)Whatever...

[@stephenwillingham7313]

It's not a keel it's a daggerboard,just so you know

[@alexblair_6732]

Stephen Willingham the keel is for a monohull and the daggerboard is the same thing but for catamarans

[@matthewnuzzi5912]

Well a dagger board is usually removable and a keel may be but is extremely hard.
