I initially was thinking this video was about a sailor who sailed the trip in a Sunfish.. Still nice video, has anyone done the trip via Sunfish?

For your registration numbers - check with your state. It varies state to state. Some states the boats are small enough not to be registered, others require it. There is a difference in the state registration (numbers and yearly tag on the hull) vs the numbers on your sail - thats for your...

Can someone explain or post a picture for proper mounting of a Ronstan battle stick? Thanks.. -Erik

I found and bought on Craigslist - $275 for a '74 Sunfish in excellent condition except the sail was worn, and latter $500 for a very good '76 Sunfish WITH a brand new sail. $1400 for a '70 Sunfish? Hate to be the fool who buys it and finds out later what a sucker they were...

Exactly 42.3 days - then you would die. Any other questions? -Erik

Put it in the for sale section.

I would love to take my Sunfish's on a big lake.. stop torturing me! All I have is smaller lakes in New Mexico.. thank god for summer storms! -Erik

yea I have to agree- the trailer is made of the worst metal I have ever seen. The axle and hubs seem ok, but the rest is minimal. But ok for some uses.. -Erik

I have the same trailer but with the 12" wheels. Harbor freight sells both. I cut the trailer in half and put a box on it to pull behind my Harley. I have carried 150-200lbs up to 90mph with no issues after towing 5000 miles. If your pulling on highway I would go with the 12" wheels vs. the...

I use a bicycle pump, even if the connection is leaking you will still see the leaks when you pump it. I only pump a few times as I don't want to make more leaks. -Erik

I'd like to see a jib put on the Sunfish like the first post said vs. completely changing to another makers sail adapted to the Sunfish. -Erik

uhhh. ok.

Looks like a great boat to sail with some friends. -Erik

I would add a cam cleat but since the boat is for my small boys and wife learning to sail- and its gusty in New Mexico - it would only make them dump it over more often.... -Erik
