    Recently inherited a super sailfish

    Hi Good Looking OG SailFish! Sailfish and sunfish use the same sails. so any sunfish sail will fit the spars, it looks like you will also need sail clips or ties Both do the job well. But also all the ropes for Rigging as you mentioned, so mainsheet, Halyard, and outhauls, some people also like...

    Radial sunfish sail

    I've seen that article before, those sail also look awesome! but it would be really cool to find one of the original sails as it would technically be Race Legal, not that I race, just would be cool. The radial sun fish sail from AMF also starts at the point the Spars come together not the bottom...

    It really is crazy that our boats look so much alike! just a little different sail design.

    been throwing this together.....its a 74....

    I launch from my trailer, and i have not seen a water hook up there for boat washing, I usually just trailer it back home and wash her off there.

    Ive never been down to the Baltimore sailing center, or really done any real racing, that would be fun! Yes I believe the Lake area they are prohibited.. unfortunately, that would be a nice place to sail. I launch at the Hammerman area, of Gunpowder Falls state park. they have a boat launch and...

    Sunfish Boat Cover

    Wow great job building the shack to with stand the storm surge! Hope you are all OK and not too much damage was done. Hopfully the only thing missing is the fences and a boat did not float away! Looks amazing though! the walk around the side on the expanded vs. is really a nice touch! Love it...

    So both the sail fish sail and viking sail are on late 60's hauls so a little heaver than the early 70's one but those 2 boats are also slower than the Windflight with a 93 North sail sunfish sail which is faster than my 73 sunfish with OG sail. The north sail really seams to perform better on...

    Sunfish Boat Cover

    I just bough this sunfish boat cover (linked below), it fits amazing and the water beads up on top of it really nicely, I like that it covers the side so you don't have to worry about sun fade on the side. It feels really nice, and i really like the bungy that runs around the bottom so you would...
