Hopefully this will be the last of the naive questions about this 1966 boat...just doesn't seem to fit the posted diagram of the later versions!
The Sun Fish Sailors Files section shows the older boat to have a brass
drain hole to the starboard-front of the cockpit...what exactly should this look like? This boat has two brass screws in that locations but one on starboard and one on the port side....for drainage, what do you do, remove these screws? I would have thought it would have been more of a valve mechanism than a screw embedded in a grommet, which is what this appears to be. I will post some photos of this boat at some point, eventually I will be installing an inspection port as it will need a drying and the bow handle 's backing wood is inside the hull. I currently have the dagerboard and rudder off for sanding and varnishing. Thanks. John
