hello to every one here on the sunfish forum --- my name is Chad im from Pensacola Florida and just got my first sunfish!!!
just thought id throw up a pick of it --- sorry of its too large for some ( dont have image resize loaded up yet )
but wanted to show the beginnings to sailing and tell a little history on my journey finding a sailboat!!!
found this sf in the local cheap ads Sunday morning was listed in 3 parts sunfish the mas and the rudder from 100 50 and 25 called and offered 100 bucks for all no trailer or booms and no sails or rigging and i was there in a matter of hours ( had to get a trailer )
still i thought it was a good deal no to many stress cracks some rub marks from the tiller and around the mast area a little rust from some old hardware but not to bad i think !!! just looking for the sail and booms right now!!!
i have a neighbor about 4 houses up from mine that has a sunfish and a opti sitting on trailer out in the weather and not moving i gone by there a dozen times but he gives an answer like --- oh i dunno ill think about it ill look around for how much they are going for let me think about it ill let you know!!! --- just sitting there baking away in the sun --- id love to get them ive offered cash
but here are the pics im guessing its from the mid eighties ill look up the sn #
looking forward to all the help i can get and all the great stories!!
