    New multi boat trailer ?

    While bouncing around the CastleCraft Marine website, I discovered what appears to be a new Trailex Trailer. The trailer is listed as model UT-400-3LS, under the 2/3/4 boat trailer drop down. Not sure how to set up a direct link, sorry. Strange, Trailex doesen't show their on their website...

    Crushed Lower Boom

    After a two year search, finally found a nice used fish for my wife. It's put a smile on my face watching her take pride in cleaning her new toy. She has this grin when she reminds me that she is at the "ideal weight" for a sunfish ....... the race is on. We found a problem. A prior owner over...

    Health of Laser Performance ?

    Wow, after reading HoosierDaddy's post "Racing Sail ?", I'm a little worried about the health of Laser Performance. I've been a customer of Irish Boat Shop in Charlevoix and Harbor Springs MI for years. They've always been top notch, great to deal with.

    Kittyhawk for Sunfish

    Saw a Laser on a Kittyhawk trailer recently. Nice set up, supported by the bow and gunwales. What's different between Laser and Sunfish construction? Would a bow-gunwale support system work on a Sunfish?

    Trailex Problem?

    Ok, I dropped the big money for the Cadillac of boat trailers for my new sunfish, a Trailex SUT-200-S. The trailer was shipped via UPS without a problem, assembled per instructions, all fasteners torqued per specs, tire pressure set at 15 psi. I just made my first test run, empty trailer, no...

    Worlds Sails

    Morning everyone, It's my understanding that the colored race sails used during the World Championships are sold after the event. Anyone know how they can be purchased? Are new event sails available after the event (extras?), or just the used sails that sailed the event?

    Class Politics  Sunfish v Laser : One Design?

Over the last couple of seasons, I've been sailing Sunfish and Lasers at our small community sailing club. I decided on the Sunfish to share with my wife as she has shown an...

    Inspection Port?

    My new Sunfish Race (Pro) should arrive around the first of May. A lot of the advise in the Sunfish Bible (what an informative read!) and from the members of this Forum is to install an inspection port. I'm considering a port centered between the dagger board and splash rail to provide drying...

    Help! - Pro vs Standard

    Well, I'm about ready to place my order for a new 2008 Sunfish, but........ A little personal history may be in order. I grew up on the water in the late 60s sleeping on the sail bags of my grandfathers Lighting. Early 70s a new Sunfish was added to my grandfathers fleet, and every weekend...
