I'm a total noob here looking to learn to sail with a Sunfish. There's a local one for sale that I just went and looked at. I did read several posts on here about how to buy a Sunfish. The hull actually looks like it's good condition. I couldn't feel and depth to the scratches when I rubbed my hand across the visible scratches on the bottom. There's only one "ding" show below and it looks superficial. I filled the mast step with water but I was only there for about 20-30 minutes. The water might have gone down 1/8".
The sail is the weak point. I found a couple of small holes. How reparable are these? The fabric seems much thinner than a 1981 Hobie 16 sail that I'm familiar with. Not sure if it was originally that thin or if its weathered thin.
The wood rudder and daggerboard need some TLC but nothing major.
The EZ Load trailer is in good shape. All original paperwork is included (only 2 owners).
She's asking $700. What do y'all think?
Thanks
