    Drying boat without separating hull from deck

    hey, i tried to attach a diagram. If it didnt show this most likely wont make sense. On my first boat i dried it out extensively. I put an inspection port in the locations marked with the red circles. In the one near the dagger board trunk, i placed a hair dryer on low. the heat didnt hurt...

    new club dolly

It allows the sunfish to sit right on it and the laser not to be hit. it looked like all you would need are the sunfish peice from a dolly, and a few screws/ bolts. then take off the laser...

    hey, this little brass things purpose is to put the main sheet under the hook to provide some leverage on it. i would HIGHLY suggest that you unscew it and install a mainsheet block. its a fairly simple job that involves few parts or expertise, and your knees will thank you in the months to come!

    Class Approved Sunfish Upgrades (from Vanguard)

    Does anyone know the status of the new rudder? If we are going to be getting a new rudder within the next year or two why would we spend an additional $200 to upgrade our boats? Is this fiberglass rudder taking the place of the new design?

    Mainsheet block issue

    this is 100% normal for an older boat. if you wish to change over to a block you can simply get an eye strap and put it right in front of where your hook is on the cockpit lip. drill through the fiber glass and then through bolt it with stainless bolts and lock nuts. im sure your knees will...

    Hull repair question

    i think the only way to get it like the rest of the hull is to gel coat it. that can get complex considering that if you smoothed it out with sandpaper it shouldnt really slow you down.
