    Question  Rule 69

    Got a question. There’s an on the water incident. No protest is filed. No one did penalty turns. Can a protest hearing be held several weeks later after a complaint was made to the local regional rep?

    News Worlds - Day 2 - or not!

    I was there, I qualified, and yes the race committee left it up to Vanguard to decide to race that day. I believe it was totally due to conditions and potential problems. $150 deposit hardly covers damage that could have occured in those conditions. I've raced there many times and yes it is very...

    Things you would like to see improved upon by the Sunfish boatbuilder for 2008

    I've never heard of that happening. There were several problems with the World's boats last week at Brant Beach. My boat had a serious problem with the daggerboard well. It was so tight I had to use 2 hands to pulll it up when standing up after I rounded the offset mark at the windward mark...

    Age Advice

    I agree having all 3 boats would be a plus. You can depower a Sunfish with a Jen's rig just like I do and I weigh 125 pounds and still have problems occasionally. So, at less than 80 pounds you will need to think about what you might be having more fun in and what the conditions are for the day...

    Age Advice

    I agree with your instructor. You are the perfect weight for an Opti and should be sailing that boat until you grow out or age out of it. Since you are the weight you are you should be able to sail for several more years in the blue or red fleet. My kids started out in Opti's and they are the...

    Things you would like to see improved upon by the Sunfish boatbuilder for 2008

    I agree that the cheek plates on the rudder should be replaced with metal ones. I like having an inspection port and don't think water gets in that way if it's properly installed. I used a clear latex caulk around the splash guard to prevent water leaks there. The sunfish sail has to be...

    Things you would like to see improved upon by the Sunfish boatbuilder for 2008

    I just bought a new Sunfish and gave the new owner of my old boat the new daggerboard. I like the old one with the handle. Yes, the story about the finger is true. I remember it happening a few years ago, but I still like the old board. As for being a woman racing these boats I think that the...

    open slots to race at worlds?

    The venue is a great place to sail. I qualified to go this year and am looking forward to compete against some great sailors. I've sailed at BBYC many times and they are experienced at hosting big regattas like this one. I would recommend looking on the site of the Sandpaper since they list...
