I'm new too, but I'll take a stab at this. There are two types sold by the manufacturer - a recreational sail and a racing sail. The racing sail is slightly larger but they are pretty much the same. Both the recreational and racing sails are class legal (legal for racing), but don't expect...
I'm no expert, but I'll dive in here.
1. Some things change over time and can help pin down the exact year - check out the "Sunfish KB & FAQ" section here. The most important consideration for replacement parts is the rudder style. That's the biggest change (I think). Mast, spars, rigging...
Would you elaborate a little more? I've seen the boards up in videos on the class website but I've never heard the reason explained. I assumed that reduced drag when running is the main reason, but don't you need it on a reach?
Good comment, I fall into this category. I am just disappointed that we would have to point this out.
I still don't see any "US Politicians" blaming GBR because BP has the word "British" in it. :confused:
[edited to add:] ...Since BP is a private company, any claims against GBR would be...
I just called LP. The sales rep I spoke with was very friendly and patient with all my questions. The 2010 Worlds boats aren't back yet. He said he would be happy to sell me a boat, but that my nearest LP dealer would be able to get a Worlds boat as well.
I don't think the market is...
Hey ocatjack,
I'm in the market for a Sunfish too, and looks like we're in the same area. You are totally right about the market here, it's probably even worse where I am. I don't have much advice, but I wanted to say hello. If I can get my hands on a boat, SYC is the closest yacht club for...
I'm in the market for a used Sunfish. I don't have tons of cash so I started looking for cheaper/older boats. The more I look, the more I am considering just buying one brand new - even if it means I have save up a bit more.
Another consideration I have is that I am super interested in...
I almost instantly regretted posting in a political discussion as forums aren't the best venue for these discussions, and I certainly don't want to offend any other users here. But I do appreciate the opportunity for a civil exchange of ideas, and I'm happy my comments were not taken badly. I...
It is interesting to me how an article in a British paper, being critical of a British company, would elicit such disdain for "US politicians" (as if there were only one kind).
I keep hearing people saying "it's not about blame" with one breath, then placing blame with the next. :(
Hey tag, thanks for the tips. I think I've read almost everything in the Sunfish KB section already! I checked out the TX racing circuit page and I had to look away - I'm itching for a Sunfish so bad. Seeing the racing pics only makes it worse.
I didn't really even know how big Sunfish...
