    Sunfish on top of a Chevy Caprice?

    If your ropes are failing you, man, better equipment might not be the answer. Simple prayers direct to a higher power might help more. WTF, ropes breaking?! They from the 60s?

    New ways to use a Sunfish

    I've been having a hankering to use mine to cross the Columbia river from WA side to OR side to Sauvies island or to St. Helens (town) and hang out and go berry picking each summer.... but I always chicken out. That shipping lane is for realz... and I'd feel a lot safer driving a scooter on a...

    Upper Body Strength

    In my experience if you have enough core to Standup Paddle Board (do you do anything like this?) you have plenty for a Sunfish. I wouldn't bother with a mini- you'll find it cramped and more difficult to maneuver in (your body in the boat not the boat itself). Absolutely get the dolly, though...

    Inspection Ports

    I'm curious why LP never thought to build these into the boats in the factory. Is it the one-design nature of the boat? Ignoring a practical solution? Cost?

    So... no new Sunfishes this season?

    Well my dealer said he got the pricing and models for the coming year and I'm placing an order at the end of this month. However this dealer is likely one of the top 3 in the US for volume of sales, and might have some clout when it comes to placing orders. But he is pretty sanguine about the...

    So... no new Sunfishes this season?

    Was at a dealer today and wanted to set up a Fall order with him for a Sunfish I'd want to get going in Spring- if I can snag a ride on his freight, it won't cost me anything. Usually, he said, LaserPerformance would have informed him other dealers by 1 Sep of the new (if any) colors, changes...

    How do you flip a Sunfish that has capsized?

    Could someone explain the bottle to the head of the sail thing as if to a complete idiot, the idiot being me? What does it do exactly? Is that really enough to keep it buoyant enough to not turtle? So I guess about 2 litres is the rough displacement a flooded mast would have? And so turtling...
