I’ve carried mine in the back of a Honda Pilot and Chevy Equinox. Both are easy and the hardest part is just securing the hatch. I put the bow facing the rear, run lines through the bow handle.

I forget the brand of bars but I did buy off of Amazon, just not Thule or Yakima… my Forester already had the side rails, just no crossbars. So I use two ratching tie down straps in the middle section and then halyard line with carabiners to tie the front and rear. With a Sunfish, I’d transport...

I have a Forester myself and have hauled my 14 ft tandem kayak up there. I bought some no name bars to use with the rails and it works great. I put a couple of carabiners in the tow hooks up front (under the bumper) and one near the muffler to use for tie downs. id skip renting anything for the...

and here's a shot of it in use

I made up a hoist for my Minifish. I put a round head bolt into a joist, put a block and tackle from eBay into the round head. I got slings capable of lifting 600 lbs each and put one in the front, one in the rear and used PVC pipe to keep them separated. It was easy to lift solo and kept the...

I’d be majorly ticked off to have to buy all of those permits each year.... then again, I wouldn’t live somewhere that had all of that stuf. We threw out the British because of that behavior!

I’ve car topped a Sunfish on my Chevy Malibu so absolutely you can. I bought the boat 4 hours away from my home and flipped it upside down, put it on 2 $5.00 rolled up yoga mats and strapped it down.

What a fabulous restoration! Museum quality and yet functional as designed. What a treasure!

I saw this on Craigslist, is it a sailfish sail? https://stlouis.craigslist.org/boa/d/brighton-sails/7113312636.html

so the “ears” are what the bolt goes through? I sooooooo much appreciate the wisdom sharing!!

My 76 minifish has a case of slippery gooseneck. I bought new bolts and nuts but still moves freely. I think my next step is to put a thin layer of rubber under the neck but that I’d see what the collective wisdom here is. I have a quick release on the way and want to avoid having to buy a new...

I brought home a sunfish that I bought 4 hours away from the house, on the top of my Chevy Mailbu. I had rolled up yoga mats under it, it was hull up and tied by the bow handle and strapped down. Worked great but I will say that the 93 decibels (I measured it) it made at 60 mph was really...

I just received a Sunfish sail from Intensity Sails and I can’t say enough good about how they operate! Great communication, fast service and good prices. So glad that I had them for an option.

I was thinking about the pulleys and the traveler attachment points, also the rudder attachment point. I looked for a serial number plate (by centerboard and in cockpit) but there is none. I check for a hin at the transom, nope. But man, the gel coat is sweeeeeet :)

Spoon tip daggerboard for sure Signal Charlie :)

Correct on the steps: White hull, big blue strip with a thinner red stripe on each side on the bow only. I'm thinking the red, white and blue Intensity sail with a window will be perfect :) Also has the wire traveler on the back...

I can't take pictures yet, its too dirty and heavy to move by myself. But it does have the pulley at the foot of the mast also. It's really dirty from the previous owner having it upside down on sawhorses beneath his deck. So lots of yuck to wash off but still can tell gelcoat is great. Not bad...

Bought a Sunfish this week. The title says it's a 1970 but there's a storage compartment in the back. The bailer is metal; there's no HIN the state has issued a metal id number (that's not mounted but is supposed to be. The clear coat is beautiful, no damage and everything is there except the...

Wow, they were at one time offered for $10-15,000.00 so come way down. Downright affordable!

My 14.2 turtles in under 15 seconds when capsized. Once I put the Bob on, it was a breeze to right it after a capsize. I needed help to right the boat when turtled.
