I was being a smarta$$ when I asked "What's a cockpit rub rail?:)". I have a 1964 Fish without a rub rail and a 1967 Fish with a rub rail. But the explanations were good.

What's a cockpit rub rail?:)

I too got an Intensity sail for my 1964 Sunfish. I was given the Sunfish last year and the old sail had a lot of rodent damage, so I never did get to sail it with the old sail. The biggest reason for buying the Intensity sail was price. It came with telltales, numbers, a Sunfish logo and even a...

This is how I improved my 1964 Sunfish: I added an aluminum support underneath. I bought a flat aluminum strap from the local hardware store and cut off what I needed. When I get to it, I will use the same process when I attach the hiking strap. I am very happy with this setup. I must say...

My Sunfish is from 1964. When I removed the coaming to clean up the boat, I also found machine screws. I also noticed that the brass/bronze anchors (aka Rivnuts) did not have access all the way through. Therefore, no water could go through the rivnut and get into the hull. Unfortunately, when I...

I did the filing and all is well. I still needed the spacers because there are not enough threads on the end. But it does clamp down tight enough now. Thanks all.

Pictures of the Quick Release installed as is and another showing the nylon spacers that I added. In the first pic, the blue nut is turned on as far as it will go. The second pic shows the bronze in the center touching and it is still loose on the spar. As Alan Glos said, I will have to remove...

Hello all, I am the proud new owner of a 1964 Sunfish (based on the serial number). It required a lot of work and I really enjoyed that work. I finally got a chance to sail it and had a great time. I have been updating everything that I can find to update on this Fish. Here is the rub, I...

Thank you. I just finished with the second coat of Seagloss. Looking forward to flipping it upright and cleaning up the topside. No damage there, just needs a good cleaning and polishing. Some new hardware is going to be added as well. I am planning to have a setup like Tag at the my2fish...

In these photos, I am in the process of hull repair and painting. I know that some purists will never paint the hull of a Sunfish but..... I used two coats of Interlux Pre Kote primer from West Marine. My top coat is Seagloss White from West Marine. I have one more coat of Seagloss to add.

This Sunfish was given to me along with the trailer. The guy that gave it to me wanted to make sure that I saw the damage underneath before I took it. It looks as if it was pulled up onto a rocky shoreline. A lot of damage to the hull. It was stored indoors for many years and is dry inside. I...
