Hi, I just purchased a wooden Sunfish, Serial #12328, which I believe dates to 1963. I plan to restore it and am looking for a copy of the assembly instructions for the Sunfish Kit. I have a copy of the assembly instructions for the Sailfish kit and If anyone wants a copy I will email them to you. This is my 3rd Sunfish, my previous two were fiberglass. I helped my Dad build a Sailfish kit back in the 1970s so this is a project I have always wanted to try as no plans to build an authentic Sunfish are available. Any hints from your restoration project are welcome. Jim
Kent and Audrey, Thanks for the info. I'll post some photos later. Regarding plywood... where does one find plywood that is 14 feet long? Am I going to have to somehow join two pieces of plywood together? I know I'm a long way from that stage, but I have been thinking about it. The sailfish kit that I helped build in the 1970s came with 3 large pieces of marine plywood, one for the deck and two for the bottom. Jim
