The traveler is perfect. I replaced both end plugs.

The sail is original and is a North, completely white, blue fish logo, with clear window. Maybe not "racing"? The rudder is original. The trailer is registered-- i had to go through hoops to get it done.

I'm the original owner of a 1978 Super Sunfish. Original sail by North, rig, rudder, center board. I replaced the two traveler end plug fittings. Everything is in mint condition and very clean-- used several dozen times or more all in fresh water, no leaks, always stored in a garage. The hull is...

Last year I posted this request and hope that members might have new information. I have a 1978 Super Sunfish and need to replace the cockpit mounted traveler bar suction cup ends. Anyone have ideas of where I might obtain them?

Were you able to see if the parts are in good order? I'll purchase them from you.

So I followed the instructions for cleaning, sanding, cleaning and applying the Marine-tex. Worked great! I think I need to apply a second layer in a couple of places but it's just fine to get the boat in the water right away. Thanks everyone for all of your comments!

Thanks for the info. That's helpful. thanks very much for the thoughtful response. I was hoping to get the boat in the water quickly and that Marine Tex would help me do that. I don't have glassing skills. Maybe use the Marine Tex on the holes and a very light coat on the glass abrasions so I...

Thanks for the info. That's helpful.

Thanks, the damaged area is about an inch by a half inch. Yes, the glass is broken, but given the size and that my current trailer won't stress that area, do you think marine-tex will or will not work?

Thanks, though I keep it in the garage on a trailer, deck-up so having the Marine-tex yellow isn't an issue.

Yahoo! Good to know.

All, I have a 1978 Super Sunfish that needs some hull repair. It has two or three pencil eraser sized holes a few mm deep along the keel and some minor abraded spots along the chine on both sides where the FG mat is exposed. I bought Marine-Tex to do the repairs and plan to do it all in one...

Thanks for your response and sorry for the delay in mine.

Wow! Great pics. I never knew about climbing there. I may have to visit, but will have to have some young rockstar haul my old butt up a few routes.

No, I didn't meet them. I've not seen the climbing in AZ, but would love to check it out. Thanks for the invite! I know what you mean about providing info/advice to others and saving their lives. I've done the same and helped with a couple of rescues in the Gunks. One of my long-time buddies now...
