Hi Corsair Group,

I'm a novice sailer with an old Corsair at my disposal - it's missing a few bits
and pieces
around the main sheet and I'm looking for advice on how to set up the runnig
rigging.

Specifically, what kinds of blocks would you recomend for the main sheet - it's
missing the
one mounted on the centre case and the one mounted on the floor.

Any ideas about the best places to buy gear for Corsairs in Melbourne?

Thank you in advance.

Sam
