I have been to the website and can't find results from the first day. Is there another link I am missing?

If for some reason you get stopped by the Coast Guard or possible other law enforcement officers and your floation devise isn't CG approved you will get a ticket for not having an approved life jacket aboard. Chambers, can you quote the Florida law that requires you to wear a life jacket ?

One of the best thinks you can do if you are doing any trailing is to have your tires balanced. Most people don't do this and it really makes a difference. Most of the wheels and tires are not truely round and will cause the trailer to bounce down the road.

I don't know about the retention clip but I can tell you that it will probably take at least 5 coats of varnish to get a really smooth finish,

I think the 3" Harken ratchet blocks works great. I have a smaller ratchet on one of my fish and it doesn't work as well. I have heard that one of the new Ronstan ratchet blocks works very well also.

Any results from day 2 ?

For those of you who don't know James he is a member of Sunfish Fleet 669 in Melbourne, Fl.. James is one of those people who is ALWAYS trying to help other people in their Sunfish. He give great seminars on Fish sailing and coaches people around the course. He is a blast to be around as well...

That doesn't sound like a bad deal. As long as you have all of the parts sounds fair to me.

See your local Sunfish dealer. If you don't have a local dealer contact APS this forum sponser for help.

Congrats to Jeff Linton. It is a well deserved award even if they didn't mention Sunfish titles.

Try APS, they sponsor this forum. They are also good.

You can do some point to point races or multible marks or do a poker run type race and have each boat pick up a card at given points to make up a poker hand. You can also do LeMans starts from the beach. Make them sail the boat backwards for a short distance in the race and so on. Prizes can be...

Everything is relative. We can't tell much from the photos. What does the boat weight? Are there cracks in the boat. What do the rudder and board look like? How about the spars and sail?

If you are at all handy with tools you can build a dolly. I built one out of aluminum tubing that works well. I have also seen them made from PVC pipe. You can also use wood.

James, search through this forum and you will find the answer. You will have to put in inspection ports and go from there. How to is covered in past posts here.

We use lawn paddle ball paddles. they look like a large ping pong paddle and work great. they fit in the aft well and do not get under your feet. I have seen other people use ping pong paddles and dust pans. Heavy duty dust pans work very well and are cheap.

It is very hard to tell anything from that picture. Looking at that picture the aft boats is getting gased by the lead boat and should tack to get clear air. He may have passed you due to a fuller sail as well as lighter weight in the lighter air. We need more information.

Also look up Team Foxy for spar bags and covers. They do good work.

It might be a good idea to look at what types of boats are being sailed in your local area. Talk to the people sailing bigger boats and get their feedback as well as imput. It is almost always better to buy a boat that has a local following that way if you decide to sell it you might have an...

I have been waiting for the Southeast results as well.
