    purchased a wet fish

    Sorry about being so blunt. Ebay is designed around promoting such dealings and only offers up their wimpy feedback as recourse. The unfortunate thing is when you participate you enter into a contract and unless the loopholes are large it's not worth pursuing when you get fleeced.

    purchased a wet fish

    Lets see if we have this right,,, you bought a boat off of Ebay. You didn't do your due diligence and go in with knowledge about what the boat should weigh or what a reasonable price should be. You got caught up in an Ebay bidding frenzy, You finally smartened up post purchase. Now you want your...

    Question on Rebuilding Sunfish

    High510 Strip off all the parts. Put the hull out by the curb with a FREE sign. Sell the parts on Ebay. The guy that takes the boat will bid 10 times more for the same parts than he would have bought the complete boat for. Buy a better boat and take a trip to Hawaii with your...

    Rudder Conversion Help and Kits?

    Wind Line Sails seems to have put a lot of work into the How To help. They are a Sunfish dealer too, did you think to ask them about a conversion kit? (wink-wink, nudge-nudge) Did you try Google? APS and Layline have kits shown on the net. Good bet they are more expensive than Wind Line...

    Brant Beach 6/10

    In light of today’s high cost of travel and in consideration for the time investment of regatta participants we believe there needs to be greater responsibility on the part of race organizers. We would like to see USSCA add an amendment governing the behavior of the regatta authorities. This...

    2006 mast plug

    The caps are held in by a groove pin or roll pin seemingly as an extra measure. On all we’ve pulled those caps have been pretty tight and pins seem unnecessary. We don’t know what would cause the cap to tear out in normal use. You could add extra pins Sunfish sells them 79513 is the number on a...

    fiberglass daggerboard

    Dude – You can do it. Research the Sunfish working design. Look around at other type boats where plastic composite boards are used. Here’s some pointers from the plastic board world. The technique is the same only on a smaller scale. Sorry we can’t be more helpful. Like everyone else we...

    sail care

    Not sure what you mean? Nick, assuming the clear Sail Tape mentioned is Fluoro-Vinyl Repair Tape made for Sailboard Sails, Hang Gliders, Ultra-lights, and Kite Sails, the material sounds like it will do a complete repair job. The suggestion strikes us as a very good one. We are happy to add...

    [ “better off” AND “time constrained”, and “don’t want to get too complicated” ] Tall Order Delmar thinks in order to meet all your criteria you should have your blade and board cast in bronze. Since money was about the only constraint you didn’t mention, you could upgrade to the...
