west coast sailing: 15% off rigging sale

west coast sailing is having a sale on rigging for the month of February (2023) – you have a week and half left to jump on this sale to get upgraded rigging for your sailboat. they have a custom rigging shop for specific line and length and end conditions, or they have a lot of one-design rigging already pre-made. for the Sunfish rigging, it looks like they have the mainsheet and halyard, and 3-loop or 2-loop bridles.

they also have full line kits for the Sunfish… but the kits don’t appear to be on sale (might be worth a call to see if you can get the discount on the kit?).

either way, spring isn’t too far around the corner, and a new set of rigging would be a great way to start off your 2023 sailing season!

my2fish blog birthday: 13 years

thirteen years. the length of time I’ve been blogging about Sunfish sailing.

anyway, thanks again to all of you who follow along and pretend to read my posts, and extra special thanks to those of you brave enough to make a comment or two. [once upon a time, in a land far far away, Baydog used to comment a lot… ] 

I’ve had fun blogging, sailing, and blogging about sailing, and hope to keep doing it for the near future! 

cheers, my2fish
