Hi all...
I am brand spanking new to both this forum and to sailing. I am hoping to pick up a used sunfish to goof around with and hopefully teach my two girls to sail (8 and 10 yrs old). I have been around sailers a lot but have only sailed a sunfish once for a weekend on a lake in northern NY. It was a blast and I am excited to give it a try.
On Craigslist there are a lot of options for sunfish and I am gathering information from the diferent sellers. However there is one Super-Sunfish, that at first blush, looks to be quite nice, is realtively close by, and comes with a trailer.
One worry is that the kids will not really get into it over the next few years....if that were the case I may want to sell the boat (assuming I am not addicted).
So here's the question. Does the fact that the super-sunfish is no longer produced make it more difficult to sell and will it be harder for me to unload? If there is the possibility that things don't work out will I have done myself a favor by purchasing a regular sunfish?
I hope I have explained myself well enough and I appreciate your willingness to look at this and help out.
