    Old style rudder modification

    Hello, y'all, I'm hoping to tap into some creative minds here. I've been searching the forum to see if anyone has done modifications to the old style rudder NOT a conversion to the new style, but I haven't had much luck. I know Alan Glos can make a "new" rudder to fit the old bracket, but I have...

    Inside 60s Sunfish vs AMFlite

    This afternoon we finally did it: opened up our old 1960 Sunfish and pre-72 AMFlite 14. Prior to the cutting, we figured Old Blue (Sunfish) was damp and heavier, though she sailed fine (as far as we could tell). The AMF was significantly lighter, but had noticeable flex in the hull and some...

    Star Dancer clonefish?

    Not many Sunfish seem to pop up in our area (300 mi radius) for sale, but I did see a "StarDancer" clonefish: http://kansascity.craigslist.org/boa/3236994895.html That's a name I haven't come across before, and the pilot deviates from the Sunfish, plus the boat weighs 140 lbs., and fishes run...
