Anybody have an inexpensive solution for an inexpensive CD/MP3 on your boat? Thanks

Interesting this subject came up recently when I was given some deck hardware. The previous owner told me how he had sailed a sunfish with an extra sail years ago. He must have been talking about the ready to go jib kit. I would love to see some info on this.

Good answers so far. Thanks to everyone :)

Thanks. That seems like a really fun boat.

Is there a recommended age children should be before they go sailing with you? I know wearing a life vest and being able to swim would be important, but is there a typical age when they are ready to be on the Sunfish with you?

LOL I guess I got spoiled with my first 2 sunfish. One I cleaned up, made a few dollars on, and kept a homemade dolly that lets me to take it to a pond a couple blocks from my dads house. The second I got the hull for free, rounded up some inexpensive parts, and for a few hundred dollars and...

parts for the force 5 seem to be tough to come by. I saw a force 5 for sale cheap but when I started googling for parts almost nothing came up. I did not see any listings of any force 5 stuff on ebay. If I am wrong and someone has good sources for used parts and new parts please post them...
