OK, so I broke out the mast step. Pix below, but it seems like there should be a repair kit like there is for Lasers. I'm not finding a kit for Sunfish. Have you done this repair? I've looked at some info on the Sunfish Forum, they talk about adding an inspection port and working thru it...

Sailing 2 weeks ago and my mast well broke loose top and bottom. When I looked inside the hull (have some ports in already) it looked like a piece was still there and it had split in the middle. Then to night I look a little closer and see the well doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the...

I have three different sails with the pictured sailmakers patch. I know the one sail is a racing sail because I bought it that way. The other 2 came with boats and I assumed they are both recreational. OK, but why the "Class"designation on them? Anyone have the story? Thanks, Win ever.

I have looked at the KB and see how to replace foam blocks but all I want to do is reattach one. I'm sure an inspection port will be needed, got that. But has anyone done this before? What were the pitfalls? Thanks, Win ever.

The bolt in my gooseneck is seized. I've been tryinh penetrating spray, not working. Got a solution? Thanks, Mike 76264

Raced this past weekend, guy I want to beat (he's good, I'm learning this boat) ran away from me...again. Especially downwind. I was thinking about my height and weight and his. We're probably close in weight 195, but I'm about 4 or 5 inches taller. Shouldn't I be able to translate that into...

Attached is a pix of my deck port. Shouldn't there be a seal around the edge? The other ports have a black rubber seal, this one doesn't. Seems to be a different brand, this one is much more flexible, the others are hard plastic. Thanks, Winever.

I used the search function and didn't get anything, could be me. Would anyone please enlighten me about the use of Japanese glide tape on a Sunfish? Thanks, cheers, Winever.

OK, did the air test, the mast well leaks, at the bottom, front edge. I looked on KB and didn't see anything. Any one ever fix that? Suggestions? I'm thinking a dowel just slightly larger than the mast, put some wetted glass on that and insert it. ???? Like I said suggestions...

I have some video I made of removing the plastic clips from my spars and wanted to post it somewhere. Is Utube the place or is there a Sunfish video vault somewhere? Thanks, Winever.

I have my fish in the driveway for a few days and have been taking the cover off and opening the ports to hopefully dry out any moisture there may be inside. Then at night I close the ports and put the cover over the boat. In the AM when I take the cover off I'm seeing a bead of condensation...

Which side of the lower spar do you have your outhaul and cunningham mounted on? Why? Thanks Winever.

Finally got the (new to me) Fish in water this weekend. Wind was 8-10 for first race, 12-15 with gusts in the second race. Running W/L in creek off the Neuse River, 1/4 mile long course. I have many questions, let me start with how to tell where the wind is coming from. I found myself...

As a newbie to the Sunfish just wanted to say a BIG thank you for this forum! Having gone to the search mode and typed in my questions, most have been answered already. Great info and tremendous asset, thanks to all the posters for sharing your knowledge, I'm looking forward to learning a lot...

Went to the local building supply folks and they didn't come up with it. I've seen a material that is maybe 12 inches (or less) but much thinner than schedule 40 PVC. What is it used for when not transporting our toys? Thanks, Winever. BTW, also wondering if anyone has built a sail rack...
