Greetings!

I recently purchased a Spindrift Designs Day Sailer One which seems to
have everything there except both sail halyards. Through my research
so far it seems ODay first built this boat, and thousands were built
over the years. Hopefully, then, SOMEONE must know how to rig this
boat! I am a newbie and would greatly appreciate any help!

Specifically, I need pointed to a person or a website than I can find
either pictures or detailed description of:

1) How to run the line for the mainsheet.

2) Where the boom vang is attached to the boat.

3) How to properly run the mainsail and jib halyards.


Again, any help is GREATLY appreciated!!


I was loading pipe for a job at our local drainage dealer and saw the
boat sitting out on its trailer behind the warehouse. I'd always had
an interest (but not the means) to learn to sail, and decided to call
to see if it needed a new home. It did, and the gent I bought it from
said he wanted what he gave for it, $100. We did the deed, I jacked
the trailer out of the mud, tried filling the tires, miraculously,
they both held air. Dragged her 10 miles to her new home. I've only
been able to clean it up a bit as it's been very cold here in Ohio.
The boat is oxidized, the cockpit wood and one cracked cleat needs
replaced, everything else seems OK. The trailer is roadworthy but
very ugly, and needs wire-wheeled and painted.

I thought this would be an enjoyable thing for my 11 year old son and
I to do together, hopefully this will help pry him off the Gameboy
