Anyone have some experience with 12 ft firefly sailboats? I'm putting
one back together again and have some questions on the running rigging.

thanks

wen I was a boy, around 1960, I have made my first sailing experience on a
hot molded firefly (I tink the wooden firefly in that period was hot molded
and not cold molded... or I am wrong?)

I'm pretty sure it would have been hot molded. I've seen a hot molded
Albacore form that period.
