I found this cool boat and had to buy it. It has been in the water very little and is in great condition. Sails are like new. I have sailed a Hobie some but am a beginner. The mainsheet blocks and lines are missing. I am also missing jib sheetsand hardware. Are there any shark guys out there that can recommend the best setup. 6:1 8:1 fiddle triple block ? Also a noobie to forums like this Thanks. How do I post images

That's a large main on the Shark. Years ago my next door neighbor was 6 times Nat'l champ on the Shark. Check my ads on the classifieds here, but I would suggest 7:1 or 8:1. Is it a Gibbs (plastic deck) or from England (varnished wood deck? Pete 909-800-5237 -

There is a Shark Facebook page and these are the individuals that are into restoring and racing the sharks...probably your best resource out there.
