Not the nicest of topics, but assuming (PUN!) the water is not too cold.. what about just going over the side.. dropping your pants and using a cloth, which will be wet(duh) to clean up.. then put it in a plastic bag to take back.. pull up.. and back in the cockpit and away.. I have no idea...

Yep, I would agree. Interlux is a nice paint, I have used it on my keel boat. I also agree that a sanding and a second coat is needed. It is just like a wall in your home, a nice solid consistant coat so that the color is solid and bright when you put that down. Looks like your boat is...

I used to race keel boats, but times have changed and I dont have the funds for that right now, but I do enjoy one design racing. I know up at our family cottage lake (Muskoka) there is quite a few lasers, now I would assume that a Sunfish cannot really keep up with a laser? For the sake of fun...

Well you Old Geezer, I think i would agree with you. Even if it is legit, it is only in BC and that is as far away as California to me.. so upstate NY and MI is still the closest things around. Oh well.. I guess up here it is just Lazers and Bytes etc.. James

Any fleets in Ontairo at all? I see the one in NY and MI are not huge distances away if I wanted to go for a regatta, but I wondered if there is even a list of owners in Ontario? Maybe find a sailing club with 3-4 already there and have a little competitive sail. James

as popular as this boat is.. and I think it is. There seems to be little of no organized racing of it here in Ontario Canada. Too bad. I would love to do some one design racing with it. James

Well, putting in inspection plates is a great idea, I could use one with a rabbit sack in it anyway as the boat has NO storage at all. does anyone know of a close up photo of the dagger board retaining system rigged up? as I dont have one. would like one, and have not seen any sort of install...

OK, inspection ports it is. I am also going to install a fairlead and cleat for the mainsheet.. We have no Sunfish fleets up here in Toronto Area Canada, so I am not going to be concerned about installing class equipment. I have Joined the Yahoo group.. and lots of stuff there was very...

I have a pre 71 ( I have figured this out) I am not sure on the exact # yet.. I have to check the plate if I can find it. I sailed it for the first time this past weekend. It is a family boat that was passed to us. MOST of the lines need replacing.. but the spars are in good shape as well as...
