    Media Fun in the sun

    If you're talking about the pictures I posted, they were taken at the James Island County Park in Charleston, SC.

    Required safety equipment for sailing a Sunfish?

    Thanks Mike. I'll have to get a new title for it and pick up a paddle/whistle.

    Does your Sunfish have a name?

    Okay, I'm definitely getting one or two of those made for my 'fish. :D!!!

    Does your Sunfish have a name?

    I was sailing out in the Folly River the other day and met someone who had just recently bough a early 1990s sunfish. We sailed around a bit together and I noticed on the side of the hull was lettered "The Baroness." Was wondering if anyone here has named their boat? If so, do you have it on...

    sunfish PVC dolly

    I like it! Think you could post a picture of the dolly with your 'fish on it? I'm having a hard time visualizing the size. As far as you comment on the wheels and the beach goes, at least for the beaches we have here in South Carolina, I would go with something more balloonish to get through...

    Well, with that being said, I figure I might as well add some photos of the "This end up" sailing method :D :P

    I think the guy in that photo has things backwards. Well at least I've never had much luck trying to use the dagger for a sail and vice versa...:D

    Daggerboard dimensions

    Sounds good Wayne, Thanks. As for finding a dealer, I'll have to look around to find one. Are there any databases of sunfish dealers?

    Daggerboard dimensions

    Part of the reason I'm planning on asking my carpenter friend to make a new one is i'm going to try and keep the original feel of my 1977 sunfish. Would it be better to have a new wooden one made in the same style as the old and get a second polymer daggerboard for racing? Any suggestions?

    Daggerboard dimensions

    I'm thinking about asking a carpenter friend of mine to make a new daggerboard for my sunfish... Is there an advantage to any of the styles? My current daggerboard is the Barrington Style.

    Required safety equipment for sailing a Sunfish?

    Howdy, I'm not sure about the bay, but down here in SC, nothing seems to be required. That being said, there are some things you should have. I use a waterskiing pfd as it was not too expensive and fits well not to mention allows mobility. If your sunfish has the extra storage in the back of...

    Any pointers for when the boat tips over.

    I'm going to throw my two cents in here too. Definitely practice righting your sunfish. Practice getting it back upright from a full turtle too. Practice having to get the daggerboard back in. THe more you practice with those weird situations that come up only once in a while (like losing...
