Hello.

I am contemplating buying a Sunfish to attempt to learn basic sailing. ( at a local lake: Muddy run, Lancaster, PA)

I am a pretty big guy: over 6 feet and quite hefty. I am wondering, what is the weight limit for successfully handling a Sunfish.

Thanks.
 
Don't know if there's any limit to weight but I'm 6'1'', 210 lbs and I've sailed with at least another 120 lb passenger without a problem. You won't go as fast as a lighter person but you can't beat the 'fish for learning sailing. It'll be your fun boat for life!!
