I just acquired a Sunfish (1974) which I plan to restore and have ready to sail next season. Over the last week I have read all of the threads in this forum, and a great deal of the other popular informational links. I still have some questions or need clrification on some issues.
1. Should I use epoxy or polyester resin to make any structural or leak repairs? I have been unable to find a definitive answer in any of the forums,
only references to both.
2. Has anyone had any problems with over-expansion when using aerasol
foam to resecure the foam blocks? It seems that too much foam could cause the deck or hull to bulge.
3. Should there be a plug in the base of the mast? Mine has no plug and I don't see one in any of the Parts Locator Drawings. It appears to me that with a little grit in the bottom of the step, the mast would be a 10 ft. by 21/2 in hole saw!
Thanks in advance for a neat forum and any feedback.
