Thank you so much for your help. Its greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Jeff. :D

I'm new to sailing and my dad isn't too experienced either. We have a 1977 Sunfish that hasn't been sailed in 12 years. During that time, it has been stored outside. Just last summer, we started to work on restoring it and making it ready for the water. I think the sunfish weighs around 165...

I personally am very happy with the way Sunfish are being built. I do think it would be a good idea to lower the price of racing sails though.

First, I would like to thank all of you for your advice. I really hated the idea of having to sail only opti's until i'm heavier than my dad. I don't like opti's at all.
