I would recommend the Fiberglass blade. Buy it and be done with it. I see the new Fiberglass rudder as a “Long term maintenance” upgrade rather then a “Performance” upgrade. As Derek said the performance difference between a well built woody and a well maintained plastic blade is minimal...

I couldn’t remember the exact price so I called my Mom to get the story right :p …to the best of her recollection the New boat price in the Spring of 75’ was $595. My family actually bought our first “Brand New” Sunfish that spring. It was part of a group purchase with 11 or 12 other Yacht...

Sorry but I can't possibly comment on this picture and your question without bringing rule 42 into it! Here is the deal...from this one still photo we do not have enough evidence to condemn this tack...however, unless this sailor flattened his boat out VERY VERY slowly (hardly likely) then...

Hi Jacob, So far this method has covered all the bases.... First, it takes up the extra space and reduces the amount of play. Second, It protects both the Mast and the gel coat. Third, by filling the space it reduces the amount of water that can gather in the step during sailing...

Hey Eric, I think there are a couple of different things going on here. First, the new "rule" that you are speaking of is actually a change in manufacturing specs that is now being offered by Vanguard, this is a response to a problem with the newer masts bending...the “Fix” is to insert a...

Is the venue change "Official"? Is this event going to be hosted in SC and exactly when is it?

Thanks for the update Clinton! Keep on em' this would be great for the class. For those of you who may not be familiar with the O’Day Championship here is a link to the back ground on the US Sailing site...US Sailing - O'Day Championship If this does happen will that mean that ALL of the...

The dates for the two New England Regionals have been set. Barrington YC June 3-4 Wequaquet YC July 22-23 I hope that we can avoid any conflicts, most particularly with New York and the Mid Atlantic as those are the two regions New Englanders would be most likely to visit.

Welcome to "The Board Room". My hope is that we all get used to checking in at least once a week, if not more often, and that by doing so we can engage in valuable conversation about all that is going on in our class. Please remember that this is just a "Discussion" forum not a formal...

Hey Tim, the short answer is no, You must request in writing to be placed on the Wild Card list and then when a spot is to be filled a name will be selected at random from all those names entered. What has been happening over the past few years is that not enough of the qualifiers are...

WOW, are you calling me out? I have truly grown tired of your incessant complaining. We VOLUNTEER our services for your benefit and if you feel we are not doing the job to your satisfaction then by all means throw your hat into the ring. But I get the distinct impression you would rather...

The regionals a Wequaguet Lake are scheduled for this coming weekend (July 23-24). I'm really not sure why the WLYC webpage does not have the information but below is the link to the NOR for the event. NOR

Well that would depend on whether you bought cans or bottles. It will only take about 30 cases of cans, not too bad! Although I'm not sure what you will do for the ride home! :p

Who are you kidding? You could still hit it, even at half the size….I have seen your handy work before.

Although this is difficult for me to do I am about to DEFEND Vanguard, at least on this one. Any one who knows me will tell you that I am not a Vanguard fan, I worked for them and I have an opinion of that company that makes it very strange for me to be here standing up for them. However, it...
