I went out for a sail sunday and noticed water getting in the bottom of the cockpit and in the mast step. It fills up about 3 inches and stops. I guess the bailer is letting water in.... I've got alot of repair to do in the winter...

I've been a passenger in my sunfish with 4 total people on it. yeah its crowded and every one is ducking and always shifting. I'm a strong swimmer and always have the vest with me but rarely put it on. I'm not racing or anything . just beating up and down here and there. I think I will get a...

I did'nt have a belt or vest on.... I guess I will next time. Do all of you carry paddles etc. I did'nt have much besides a cooler and a couple of vests and two passengers. I let the sheet go on the way over. I'm kind of glad it happened so I know what to expect. I've spent years on large...

anyone done the math?? Is the package deal cheaper than buying the cord individually?

what line do you guys recommend for the rigging for the fish and what supplier would you check out.. thanks in advance.

I use a grinder for work a lot(ceramic tile). I agree any grinder will do for a repair here and there. Glasses and a mask are a must. You do not want to be huffing any kind of dust your kicking up with an angle grinder.

Recently got a sunfish and I have a few questions. It is in 'fair' shape. no leaks or major visible damage. I spent about ten hours on it over the 4th . 1. Can I replace the sail clips with line. Is their a benefit to either one? 2. Do all of you recommend inspection ports. I guess...
