Thanks guys! The tips and photos definitely give me some very good ideas going forward.
When it comes to Fiberglass and Resin, is there any type of Resin that works better for boats? Specifically, the gaps in the cockpit, or is it generally all the same?
I plan to go with LAWilliams idea with...
Fairly old - probably 1965-1975 judging by the info I could find on Sunfish Timeline PDF.
Deck hardware is decent, a lot of it is new/replaced. The mainsheet ratchet is brand new. The cleats are in good shape and the mast pole also has a cleat.
Damage on the deck is very minimal and I've seen...
Hi guys, so a few days ago I posted a few questions about my recent sunfish purchase and a rather "sketchy" tiller it came with.
You guys were super helpful and pointed me in the right direction to learn more about what parts I need, and where to get them.

I noticed this in my Sunfish purchase as well. It looks very similar to the OP.

I am very new to the sunfish, and sailing in general, so I apologize if this seems obvious or trivial, Im just not sure about compatability
It feels fairly sturdy but yes that was my very first concern as well.
I will have to reach out to the person I bought it from - maybe they still have the original on hand or maybe its even in the boat cockpit. It's still in storage at my city since I still need to move it up to my folks house...
Hi guys, brand new to the forums and hoping maybe an expert could help me out!
I recently bought an older Sunfish for a very good price and can't wait to get it out on the lake in this coming week. Everything seems to be in very good shape, especially for the price, however the only issue I...
