    Any suggestions for upgrades to my 72 sunfish?

    Finally got the boat out this weekend. 20 miles of unpaved roads with a trailer wasn't a good idea. If the boat didn't have dings before it sure does now. Day 1 didn't go so well wind was 15+ and I went over as soon as I launched so I decided to try the next day. Day 2 didn't start off so...

    Purchasing Sunfish from the 70's

    I am hoping some of you can give me some advice on a possible new purchase. So I purchase a Catalina 22 a few years back and I owned it for 2 years without seeing the water once. Mainly because it was so difficult to transport, setup and get into the water. I then purchased a hobie 16 that I had...
