Mine did that and I found out my foam in the bow had come free from the hull causing the hull to flex in a weird fluttery vibration. My hull is dry so i got my arm in there thru mt port and shot some gorilla glue between the old foam and hull. Worked like a champ. If it fails ill rip out the old...

Rocket trailer, I launch from my beach, or the ramp just like a normal boat. If your trailer lights are not sealed, just unplug them before you dip the trailer in the water.

I know "that moron" and he does own all of it except the south end, and that little bit belongs to the city. If you want to buy it he will sell it to you. If you want to trespass on it, dump your trash, leave your condoms and dirty needles on his property for his kids to clean up, then do so at...

Welcome! I live just up the road, in Ocean View. Come on up this way any weekend its nice out, and hit our beach. You will usually find a ton of small sailboats of all sorts out here, and plenty of sunfish, sailfish, minifish, and cats. All I need to do is put my sail up and like a buglight, all...

Also get a fan in there and get that foam dried out! Dont forget to weigh it fist, so you can get a good before and after. Good luck, and have fun.

Boat rollers, mortised into the floating dock deck, would be cool as heck. If your boat is going to be stored on the dock, I would go with a couple rollers, and then a set of carpeted bunks where it will rest. Add a coupe of eye hooks to strap it down for storms, and fashion the bunks as such...

Another pic.

Ill try to explain, but if I had better pics it prob would make more sense. The kayak has the 4 scupper holes that go through the hull, the U shaped pvc stand is 1 1/2 pipe so it goes in the scupper hole, but is too big to go through. The kayak is held in place fore and aft by a strap, so the U...

Thanks for your input:D At this point the kayak is only bungee corded to the T in the mast hole and around the rudder bracket. PVC in the mast hole is 2" and fits snug in the mast hole, and isn't going all the way gown to the mast step. I think I might sand the pipe a bit so it doesn't get...

Looking for opinions on my rack contraption for carring my boat and kayak. Its sitting high because I think I'll need the space to put a cooler in the cockpit, mast and sail, plus some beach chairs and other beach stuff. Might need 2 people to load and unload, but it seems sound enough for a...

I live in OV and am out most weekends if its windy. There are 3-4 other sunfish and a couple sailfish out and about most sat and sundays. Thats my fish in my pic. and if you look close above my bow is someone with the same sail as me going by.

What material are the factory sunfish sales made of ? Nylon, Dacron,? The one I wanna paint is kinda old and blown out, so Im not really concerned about performance, but I dont want to try any paint that might weaken or melt it or anything. Just want to make a shabby old sail a little more fun...

So Im new to sailing, but having too much fun. Got my hull shining like new, and was wondering if the old sail I got from a friend (faded and worn) can be painted? (airbrush) Just for fun, spruce it up a bit, a little bling. Any thoughts?

3-pack of stainless S hooks at Home Depot is like $3

I use a little blower i had laying around from a fireplace insert. mounted dryer vent hose to the fan and let it suck air through the hull. makes it easy to just open ports vent hose pops in tight, and you can smell the air pulling out of the hull. This makes it easy to "smell" the moisture...
