Help needed,
I have brought a Sharpie, and have an experienced crew of dinghy sailors. No body told me that the Sharpie is rigged like no other dinghy. If anybody could email some photos of the rigging or lead me in the right direction on the net. Even better a case of beer or bottle of nice scotch to anyone that can come to my warehouse in Occonner and show us how to rigg it. Im trying to get down the swan on a weekend to see them race, but been to busy.
Any feedback would be more than welcomed.
Regards Allan

I sail a Lightweight Sharpie in NSW.
Unfortunately the boat is under a cover and wont be in the water until Sunday Week.
If you want specific photos leave a note and I will take some for you.
In the meantime, WA is a hub for Sharpies.
There is a very strong WA Association and they definitely sail in Perth.
If you type Australian Sharpie into your search engine you will get links to the WA Association.
Somewhere on their site there will be contact numbers for the WA Guys.
I am sure they will be more than happy to help you out.
