    Who Out There Has an AMF Flying Fish?

    I also have a Flying Fish. I have the original owners manual and bill of sale came with the boat. Picked it up for free guy was going to saw it up and throw it away. I had to glue the sail track back on the mast and clean it up a bit. Great boat very stable and the boom is over your head...

    Well finally got to sailing the fish this past weekend and man it is fun. Stable as a rock and lots of room for two to sail. Jumped up on a plane with two aboard in about 15mph of wind. I was going to sell it but I am changing my mind may keep it around for the summer.

    Sail looks good just a couple of small pin holes at the bottom. Man is it huge this thing should go if you have any wind to work with. Looks like the only thing missing is a main sheet.

    Hi, Got this home the other day the guy I got it from was going to chop it up. Have to step the mast and run the sail up yet hopefully it won't be full of holes. Otherwise it appears to be all there and in usable condition.

    Flying Fish

    Well I picked up the Flying Fish today. It is white with a green deck pretty rough but seems complete. It does have a long whippy fiber glass mast. Got a old rusty trailer too that despite all the rust seems pretty solid and quite heavy. I will shoot some pictures tomorrow when I get to...

    Rudder which is right ?

    I am refinishing my rudders for my Sunfish and Minifish and I came across a problem. So what way should the pin be on the rudder mount or does it matter at all.

    Sunfish Rudder Question

    Looking at the diagrams for the post 1993 board it doesn't show any radius for the bottom of the new board. This cant be true I would think the sunfish class would leave a detail like that up to the board builder?

    Sunfish Rudder Question

    Tanks for the reply. Is there some place you can get a barrington board or the dimensions for one so I could make one?

    Sunfish Rudder Question

    Hi, I have a sunfish and a minifish both from the early 70's. I am in the process of refinishing the rudders and dagger boards and I noticed that except for the shorter tiller on the Minifish the rudders and boards are the same for both boats. Is that correct both boat parts are the same or...

    Minifish Questions

    Thanks Wayne, Appears I have a sunfish main sheet (it is extra long), It is the correct mast but I have a short 1/4" halyard tied too low on the upper spar, and I need a carabiner. Thanks again for the help,

    Minifish Questions

    Hi, I got to sailing my new Minifish today and had a couple of questions. There were several rigging issues looks like previous owners got creative over the years. All in all the boat sailed well in 15-20mph winds and the old sail didn't end up in ribbons. I think I saw some where here a...

    Minifish

    No baler but a depression in the middle of the floor with a circular mark in it like they were thinking of putting in a baler and changed there mind. Are the later Minifish bailers mounted on the center line of the hull or offset like the Sunfish? If I installed one in this hull it would go...

    Minifish

    I found the sail prices too. Plenty expensive guess I will just wait till this one blows out. Only number on the hull is 00335 so I guess it is a 1971 Minifish. Now to find a handle, does any one have a used one they want to get rid of or is there some place to get used parts. New ones are...
