Boom Hitch for Small Sailing Dinghy / Sunfish Sailing

Knots! Knots for sailing are important! The correct sailing knots can avoid many issues. This boom hitch is a great way to tie on your upper spar on a small sailing dinghy or Sunfish. Sunfish sailboat sailing can be frustrating if the halyard slips and you have to drop sail and readjust. This can be especially helpful when sailing in high winds or waves or camping, when dropping sail may be more difficult. Try it out and see if your experience sailing a sunfish or small sailboat improves.

Adventures In Reach (AIR) hopes to expand what adventures are possible for you, teach the skills to help make that happen, inspire you to get out of a rut, and increase your confidence outdoors. We encourage you to challenge yourself and try something new, from a backyard adventure to an expedition. Although all outdoor adventures are fair game, AIR generally focuses on small sailboat or Sunfish sailboat sailing and camping, rappelling, knots, ropes, hammock camping, outdoor adventures with dogs, compass orienteering, canoeing, wilderness travel, outdoor gear, camping, hiking, and cold weather camping and survival.
