I used to think about doing a similar trip - until one nice day when my mast hole split from the hull and the mast tipped over. I had a paddle, and it was all I could do to get back to shore.
Since then, I have never once considered a trip more than a reasonable distance from land. I just...
I'd like to figure out a way to attach my mast to the trailer, rather than transporting it on top of my boat.
One idea is to make a brace that will attach to the gudgeon. This makes me nervous, though. If I go over bumps, it seems like there would be quite a bit of downward pressure placed...
My Pointer 14 appears to use Sunfish mast, spats, and gooseneck. The sail is supposed to be about 10 square feet larger, though. I'm not sure if it is, and howuch is due to cut or the fact that it is sleeved to the spars.
I sail a Pointer 14, which is made from the original Phantom mold. The Pointer 14 uses a different rudder (stock RWO), so I can't really say that I've had the problems you have had. I just bought a Sunfish, so hopefully within the next couple of weeks I will have some experience to offer...
Pardon the low light and the dirt (that's what I get for having the hull under a tree in a rainstorm), but can anyone me if I can replace this drain plug with something that does not involve any additional drilling? Is there a part that I can screw in that fits without any modification? I'd...
I bought a Pointer 14 (from J-Point Marine) last year, which is made from the original Phantom molds. To go along with that boat, I just picked up a 1982 Sunfish. The hull is in incredible shape. It was stored under a deck for several years. The person I bought it from got it with his house. The...
Does anyone know of an affordable rack so I can tow two Sunfish hulls on a single trailer? I have nice custom bunks built for my existing boat, and would want something that could attach to the trailer that fits above those bunks. (Too much work to put down the drain!) I am not opposed to...
I'm thinking about taking a vacation in the Caribbean this winter, and would like to find a resort that includes free Sunfish use. The resort does not have to be an all inclusive resort, however. I'm open to any type of resort.
We will be traveling during the first week of March, so I am...
My boss is going to be at his home in Dennis Port this weekend. He has been looking for a Sunfish for quite some time and would definitely purchase your boat. Is it still on the market? If so, I can have him get in touch with you.

It's really sad how few options exist for a small sailboat rental.
I was on Oahu recently, and unless you are in the military, there are NOT rental outfits. No Hobies, Sunfish, Lasers... nothing.
