Hi Everyone!
I am new here...what a great site! I have a 24 year old sunfish that I bought new in '84 with a rainbow sail. However my boat has not been out of the garage or in the water since 1994 (had a baby in '95 and again in '99). Now that the kids are older I am anxious to get my boat back in the water and teach them to sail. The boat looks pretty good, all I had to replace was the bailer. My sail however, has black marks on it, where the fish decal (which is still on) has transferred some on other parts of the sail that were rolled up with it during storage. What can I use to get the black marks out without ruining the sail?
Well my trailer didn't fare so well in the 13 years, but hubby has been great fixing it up with new tires, new bearings, and new electric.
Also, anyone in here from the Chicago area? Just wondering if there are any small lakes to sail on nearby that I could go with the kids during the week. I used to love to sail at Rock Cut State Park in Rockford, but its a cruise for just the day.
Thanks, this forum is GREAT!
