I have 2 goosenecks where the nut has worn away the threads on the bolt. Using Loctite to hold the bolt in place does not work, as I found out at this year's North Americans when the nut came off during a race. While I could try to use a die set at re-thread the bolt, I am leery that that will...
Every once in a while someone wants one of these. Here is a Craigslist link of one for sale. FLYING FISH SAIL - boat parts - by owner - marine sale (craigslist.org)
It isn't my listing, I just saw the post. Feel free to move this to the right place on this forum.
Thanks to Light and Variable Winds for posting this https://www.teepublic.com/mask/7933153-sunfish-sailboats-racing?feed_sku=7933153D54V
I ordered the phone case and it arrived today. It isn’t super heavy duty but it looks great!
Looks like they are posting after each race. 2019 Sunfish North American Championship on Yacht Scoring - A complete web based regatta administration and yacht scoring program
I think that Knotguilty, who has been posting some rigging questions before the regatta is competing; so hopefully he...
During the 2 or 3 years I lived in San Francisco, one of the most fun things I did sailing was sail in the Dinghy Delta Ditch run sponsored by Lake Washington Sailing Club. This year it looks like it is August 3, but the Notice of race isn’t posted yet LWSC Calendar
You start near Rio Vista...
I was looking for something else on Craigslist, and found this Sailfish Sail & Parts The sail looks great, so I assume the wood spars are not heavily used. The mast is part aluminum and part wood. It is amazing what old stuff is still kicking around!
Hi, I belong to Brant Beach YC in New Jersey, and the club just was gifted a wooden Sunfish that was no longer wanted by its owner. It sounds like it may not have been in the water since the '60s. Anyway, it has two unusual features for a Sunfish - First, it has a centerboard instead of a...
On Saturday, Aug. 8, I sailed in the annual Dinghy Delta Ditch regatta, a fantastic event put on by the Lake Washington Sailing Club of Sacramento, CA. The race was 30 miles long, and 25 or so boats of different classes entered. The race starts near Rio Vista, CA on the Sacramento River, then...
At the 50 second mark of this ad for the investment firm BlackRock, there is an older metal-edged Sunfish sitting in a boathouse - look at the lower left corner of the ad. It can be identified as a Sunfish due to the metal edge, bow handle, and the three diagonal stripes on the deck. Gotta...
There is a link to the results at www.sunfishclass.org. It was generally a windy regatta. All races were in southwesterlies. The first race of the event was in relatively light air - probably 8 kts or so - and Amanda Callahan won, with three of the top five being women in that race. The next...
The regionals are this weekend at Brant Beach YC in Brant Beach on Long Beach Island, NJ. The weather forecast is great, so make plans to come to the regatta, and if you already have plans, change them!!
I am biased since I am a member of BBYC, but we have an excellent race committee, there...
Scores are wildly inconsistent after three races. Assume it is either very light in Tampa, which is likely, or some wild shifts. https://www.regattatech.com/scoring/action/showResultsRoster?clubCode=DIYC&eventCode=SunfishIntlMaster13&divisionName=Sunfish
It is posted on sunfishclass.org. The event starts October 5 in Lewes, DE. Currently it is a 72 boat, bring your own boat, must-be-qualified thru the usual procedures (Regionals, North Americans, etc.) event.
