After a long trailer search (and owner of a trailex SUT-200), I purchased a Triton PWC trailer. Great trailer, all aluminum, lower purchase price than the trailex. I simply removed the center leaf spring (three leaf trailer spring) and made custom bunks. I ordered the trailer with the upgraded...

Thanks Tag, that's the trailer that caught my eye. Typical Trailex price tag, but an interesting design. Similiar to other members modified trailers.

While bouncing around the CastleCraft Marine website, I discovered what appears to be a new Trailex Trailer. The trailer is listed as model UT-400-3LS, under the 2/3/4 boat trailer drop down. Not sure how to set up a direct link, sorry. Strange, Trailex doesen't show their on their website...

Our dent/damage is 21 inches from the tack, so I can go either way. What I'm trying to decide is what direction from the goose neck experiences the most stress. Aft of the goose neck has the load of the long end of the lower boom along with the sheet loads. Fore of the goose neck has the upper...

About 3 years ago, I had Sail Care clean the Main and Jib on our BIG boat, a Boston Whaler 5.2 Harpoon. At 17 ft, the Harpoon is our loved big boat. Our experience was very positive. We shipped both sails, they then gave us a call with their recomendations, including the sewing of the sail...

After a two year search, finally found a nice used fish for my wife. It's put a smile on my face watching her take pride in cleaning her new toy. She has this grin when she reminds me that she is at the "ideal weight" for a sunfish ....... the race is on. We found a problem. A prior owner over...

Although not any closer, Sailsport Marine in Traverse City Michigan is a great shop to deal with. They can be found on the web or contacted via telephone. I've made many purchases from Sailsport (Scott Wilson) including a new fish, always a great price and sevice.

Nice Job Tag !!!!,,,,,,, but it borders on cruel and unusual punishment. I'm sitting in my basement in Traverse City, my sunfish about 4 feet from me (a walk out basement:p) all snug on its dolly, and snow is on the way. Spring can't come soon enough. :o

Ok, second guess. The upper boom apears the same length as the lower boom. The extended length of the two booms support an oversized sail, hence turbo-charged? Also, someting looks odd with the main sheet at the bridle attachment. At first glance, it looks as if the sheet is snagged on the...

Hmm, I'm not an expert, but the lower boom looks very long. Appears to extend from nearly the bow, back to a considerable stern overhang, resulting in a oversized (turbo charged) sail area? :o

Wow, after reading HoosierDaddy's post "Racing Sail ?", I'm a little worried about the health of Laser Performance. I've been a customer of Irish Boat Shop in Charlevoix and Harbor Springs MI for years. They've always been top notch, great to deal with.

Question for Torrid, I like your dolly main tube pads (at least they appear to be a pad?). Did you purchase the pads, or make them yourself? MichFish

Thanks Minas Man, Looks like APS is going to end up with another one of my checks! :o MichFish

Morning Minas Man, Your the first person I've found using a harken 57 mm Carbo Block with Cam #2615 on a sunfish. I've wanted to give the same combo a try as it seems to be the perfect setup, but the price has scared me. I already have the 57mm carbo block, and harken doesn't offer the add...

In a prior post, PBA hit on an issue that has puzzled me for years, proper transport. Forum members have many different ideas on safe trailering. Can our new builder, LaserPerformance, provide guideance on proper Sunfish transport? Suggestions on deck up and deck down transport would be...
