    Disassembling a Sunfish

    There is a lot of opinion in this thread. So as someone who has replaced the foam in a 1965 Sunfish successfully I thought I would add myu experience to mix. 1) I agree to not seperate the daggerboard trunk, mast step and cockpit floor from the hull. You will never get them back together...

    Digital Compass Watch

    Mike4947...you are 100% compeletely wrong. The phrase "Tack on +" is simple a written reminder to the sailoer that on port tack you should tack when the number get higher. Its no different than writing a reminder on the deck with a grease pencil. The compass offers no memory feature. What...

    Digital Compass Watch

    Mike4947...please explain how the the TackTick model above has a navigation function. As a current owner of this compass all it has is the abilty to show you a single number on the display for each tack so you dont have to remember 2 numbers. That number is calculated off the current heading...

    Digital Compass Watch

    I never thought I would say this...go Geezer go. I totally agree with you about the the Tactick compass referenced above. It offers all the same features as a standard compass but is more stable and easier to read. Many of us have the TackTick for use with our other boats already so there...

    2006 NAs?

    June was selected for the NAs as the winds in Dallas in July can often be non-existent and the day time temps could be very hot. June typically has much more reliable winds and the temps should a bit more comfortable as well. In June 2005 we hosted the Sunfish Regionals South and it was 15-18...

    Hking Strap installation question?

    The plate in the kit should be installed in the footwell on the forward vertical wall. I woudl suggest you look at the FAQ about how best to use this hiking strap plate and I believe there is a diagram there. It basically sandwiches the strap against the forward wall of the foot well and you...

    hiking strap on '66 fish

    A couple of things to consider... ...when I added the strap to the 2 60's vintage baots I have restored I pretty much copied the attachment locations of the new boats from Vanguard. You can adjust the height of the strap by easing the tie on line at the aft end. If you mount the forward end...

    hiking strap on '66 fish

    You will need to put a backing plate behind the eyestraps that attach to the aft wall of the footwell. To this will require a an inspection port to allow you access this internal area of the hull. if you dont have a inspection port installed in the aft section of the boat I woudl suggest you...

    Class Approved Sunfish Upgrades (from Vanguard)

    Geez, Perhaps I wasnt clear in my explanantion of "restored to new condition". The boat has all the upgrades. You seem offly confrontational on this subject. Perhaps you need to become more invoved in the class instead of complaining about the people that are voluntarily making an attempt...

    Class Approved Sunfish Upgrades (from Vanguard)

    Gentleman, I have to disagree with you regarding the facts around a 20 year old Sunfish not being competitive with a new boat. Now perhaps I am speaking out of the realm in which you are referencing, but I took a 1965 Sunfish and restored it to like new condition and it has no problem...
