    not a Sunfish but I'm baffled!

    whoa, thanks Pete Z, you're a life saver! I can see now that the reason why I couldn't figure out what it was is that it was designed to be more than one kind of boat ;)

    not a Sunfish but I'm baffled!

    Hi gang. I have a Mini Fish and Sunfish and was just offered this hull. I thought that maybe some of you small boat sailors might be able to give me some insight into this strange boat and help me identify it. From the set up I guess it is a sailing canoe/dorry. I can't find any markings and it...

    aluminum strip for sailfish?

    Hey gang. I picked up a Sailfish recently that needs some minor tlc. One thing on the 'to-do' list is that it is missing a small section of the metal trim railing, probably less than 18 inches worth..

    sprucing up a dull gel coat?

    I have seen several You tube vids about how to get some gloss back into an old dull gel coat, most are ads for products so I was wondering if there is any secret beyond sanding with 2000 grit wetdry sandpaper and then buffing out with rubbing compound of some kind?

    Replacement bow hook/handle

    I just picked up a Sunfish project and it needs a new bow handle. I did a quick search and see there are several companies selling replacements.

    Cleaning sails

    I just picked up this Minifish. I couldn't resist it since it's so darn cute! I want to give the sail a clean up on the next sunny day, and was wondering what you guys like to use for cleaning your sails. Any any tips you might have. thanks

    Sailfish vs. Sunfish dagger board

    Making a dagger board is a snap, but engineering a rudder is trickier ;)

    Sailfish vs. Sunfish dagger board

    interesting, thanks guys. I kind of have an itch to pick up a sailfish, and I keep running into incomplete boats. I am not afraid of the projects but there just is not a lot of specific info online about sailfish.

    Sailfish vs. Sunfish dagger board

    Hey gang. I have heard that the fiberglass Sailfish had a different rudder assembly than the Sunfish so a Sunfish rudder would not work on a Sailfish, but I was wondering if the daggerboards were interchangeable?
