There was no wind for all but one of the days we were camping, and the outriggers made it fun everyday all day, and I could easily keep up with my friend Kayaks, and do everything they did, and a lot more. Btw, these little Sailfish sail wonderfully. I have never sailed in a lakes before, and it...

Poor mans fiberglass or PMF is styrofoam, or plywood covered with cotton sheets, or canvas ( as glass cloth), and using Titebond 2 wood glue ( as the epoxy) It is a modification the old prefiberglass method of glueing and then painting canvas over plywood boats to waterproof and preserve the...

Nice work

Did a little experiment with some quick made outriggers for vacation I now have a Sailboat, Standup Paddle board, kayak, and ark... No leakage, paddles great, the low draft means it will go anywhere a Kayak can. I took it up a lake tributary, past 3 inch ripples, until even the Kayaks could not...

Probably not as much work as it sounds like, and you could address future problem years ahead of time Ps your sunfish is beautiful

I thought it looked high, but it came that way so I rolled with it as is. I will check the manual to see about proper sail setup. With the chair, It is a great paddle board, comfortable, and a good bit faster than the kayaks If I keep it, and like it as much as I am so far, I may make a mold...

Got about 3 hours sailing with the Sailfish yesterday, wind was light. Lots of fun, did not fall off of capsize sailing, I did roll it over once, using it as a paddleboard after the wind died off. It is a great paddleboard, faster than the kayaks. I am really rusty at sailing, but I am sure it...

I think I have an idea that might work, weld a nut to a wide fender washer, cut slit in the boat with the middle of it having a hole large enough to fit the welded on nut through. Smear it with epoxy, stick it through, pull it up, let the epoxy glue it to the boat. I have a tig welder, so I can...

Find somebody with one of those Cricut iron sticker on machines to make one for you

I bought a Sears Jetwind yesterday, and stripped the ABS plastic off it, your idea works pretty good, as they were just as hard to get out as the original hardware

Bought a very old Sears Jetwind this morning. Pretty beat up, and water logged. Stripped the plastic off, and making a lot of ants homeless .Plan is to repair the foam damage, after it dries out. And then glass over it. I was going to build something, but this is an exact fit for me, so for...

Seems to be gone completely, nothing at all to catch a screw

Where are the best spots, on a sailfish to put inspection ports? So I am refinishing the rails, and there are two empty screw holes, with nothing to grab. First screw hole on left side, and last screwhole on the right side. I have an idea on how to repair them without cutting visible holes, but...

Eternabond, life saving tape of RVers, swimming pools, and all sorts of repairs.

Thanks guys, I am sure outriggers would be a drag monster, which goes against the whole point of a Sailfish. Thought I would ask though.
