Hi Everyone. I'm new to this forum and just bought a used sunfish. From what I can tell it was most likely built in the 60's early 70s. The boat is in pretty good condition. The sail has a minor hole in it but looks ok. There are some holes in the boat. One in stern in the corner (see attached pictures). There is something messed up with the cockpit as well. It looks like it had cracked and somone tried to patch it but it has some bad seams. I think I may sand it down a bit and use some marine tech to patch up the cockpit. The cockpit doesn't leak. when I washed it the water stayed inside of it. The bailer still works as well. There's a crack near the dagerboard insert. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? Or can I leave it the way that it is. There is some water getting inside the hull from some where. Does anyone recommend putting an inspection port in? If so where do you think I should put it? Many thanks for anyone's help. I can't wait to get it back in the water. I'm picking up some compound and wax tonight to get the deck looking a little cleaner.
Take care
