    Restoring Sunfish - what year is this??

    I’ve been racing Sunfish since before they were invented. I’ve got a fairly current model now with the rolled edges and hiking strap, but I’ve longed to go “old school” and have an old metal-edge boat with bronze fittings and a Depersia bailer. I’m on a fixed income so can’t afford to buy a...

    Sunfish US Masters were this weekend

    I just returned from the US Masters held at the Rochester Kazoo Club. I don't know why a sailing club would be called a Kazoo Club, but I guess they started out as a Kazoo Club and switched to sailing later. I also don't know why their initials are RCC and not RKZ. Maybe they spell Kazoo Cazoo...

    News  Final Results - US Masters Championship

    I don't think the results are posted anywhere online yet. I had a paper copy, but not electronic. Somehow my great great great grandson was able to plug his Xerox machine into his computer and somehow get the results from the Xerox machine into the computer!! I would not have believed it if I...

    News  US Master

    Unfortunate turn of events for Sunfish master sailors. Paul Jon Patin is now a master. It was windy today and Paul Jon smoked the fleet with four of what the kids these days call "bullets". Tom Whitehurst had four seconds. Chris Williams did me a favor by using a crazy colored sail so I could...
