I’d Rather Be Sailing My Tornado
When I was 8 or so I learned to sail on a Super Porpoise. Looks like a Sunfish but I think a bit bigger. What ever happened to these? I never had much trouble whupping a Sunfish so what happened?

I still have a Super Porpoise - hanging from my barn rafters, haven't sailed it in probably 10+ years.
I ended up buying a Sunfish with a trailer (started out just needing a trailer, opted for the newer Sunfish for easier access to replacement parts).
Then I bought an even newer Sunfish. Then a Minifish.
One of these springs, I'll get it down, clean it up a bit and sell it.

Could work. We are in Traverse CityDetroit west suburbs
I just ready your story about dealing with a squall and lightning on Crystal Lake, MI. I suspect your decision to turtle the boat while waiting for the storm to pass may have saved your life. Did anyone post any responses about your decision?...We sailed her on Crystal Lake for several summers and I had an exciting encounter with lightning with her one August afternoon - Duckworks Magazine - An Encounter with Lightning
