Charlie,

I'ts very similar to a sunfish rig, but much smaller. Sunfish carry 75 sf of sail - this unit is about 35 sf. It's from a boat that's very similar to a sailfish, but only about 9 ft. long.

I don't know where I saw it, but I thought the strop was the length of rope tied between the aft seat frames to hold the main sheet. There's a ring that passes through it. I think you already answered my question though. A knot. I have to confess that my know knowledge is knot good (sorry). I just p...

I'm trying to understand how to attach the halyard main to the yard. The plans & instructions say to secure with a knot. But wouldn't a knot slip along the yard? Do I need to cut a channel into the halyard to hold the line secure? Could I possibly drill a hole in the yard & run the line thro...
