    Sunfish nose diving?

    thanks guys, it was a really wild experience. I had a feeling it had to do with both of us being on the boat.....probably would have been better to have taken a couple of tacks to get back to the ramp.

    Sunfish pointing ability

    i was wondering if you people knew what the sunfish's pointing ability is. My sunfish is a 78 with original sails, and it seems that it can't point very well, this could be caused by worn out, stretched sails. In terms of degrees, how far off from the wind can you point with your sunfish?

    Deck repair

    my only advise is to make sure you don't disrupt the dagger board slot when trying remove the deck. but i think it would be really easy to fix that problem. i would remove the deck, and dry the whole boat out on the inside. then i would let it sit and dry out for a week or so in a garage or...

    What's the Maximum speed of a 'Fish

    I'm really surprised about those speeds. I never thought that a Sunfish could exceed the hull speed by so much.
