Basically a Plastic Hartley 16,and ? whether self righting,as have narrow deck/wide cabin entry,so need buoyancy or could sink like a stone !

Had a DeHavilland Rambler,of the same vintage/size,with no ballast = careful,but had a big plate/beam = only on the Lake !

Rig off a Hartley,with easy reefing + furler

Hi saildou and welcome.
Is this your first sailboat?
There are lots of youtube vids on rigging small sailboats and dinghies.
I suggest that you check them out and practice rigging and de-rigging in your front yard , so you are familiar with the rig.
Then, off ya go.
