The sail is original and is a North, completely white, blue fish logo, with clear window. Maybe not "racing"? The rudder is original. The trailer is registered-- i had to go through hoops to get it done.
I'm the original owner of a 1978 Super Sunfish. Original sail by North, rig, rudder, center board. I replaced the two traveler end plug fittings. Everything is in mint condition and very clean-- used several dozen times or more all in fresh water, no leaks, always stored in a garage. The hull is...
Last year I posted this request and hope that members might have new information. I have a 1978 Super Sunfish and need to replace the cockpit mounted traveler bar suction cup ends.

All, I have a 1978 Super Sunfish that needs some hull repair. It has two or three pencil eraser sized holes a few mm deep along the keel and some minor abraded spots along the chine on both sides where the FG mat is exposed. I bought Marine-Tex to do the repairs and plan to do it all in one...
No, I didn't meet them. I've not seen the climbing in AZ, but would love to check it out. Thanks for the invite! I know what you mean about providing info/advice to others and saving their lives. I've done the same and helped with a couple of rescues in the Gunks. One of my long-time buddies now...
