There is more than one type of Loc-Tite. Make sure to tell them what you are using it for so you get the right one. Also, there are other brands. Generically it is called thread sealer

Fullkeels, Intstead of sealing it have you thought about putting styrofoam in the mast. That is what mine has. I've flipped it a number of times for practice in a shallow bay and no problems with the boat going turtle SB

My recommendation is that you Google on "how to buy a used Sunfish' or 'Used Sunfish buying guide" You will find a number of articles from 410 words to several pages that go into much greater detail than I can do here. One tip I found helpful, when I was looking, was to check the mast step...

Great South Bay... That brings back memories. My fathers best friend lives on a canal in Amityville an has three boys [now all grown]. I have two brothers, so the six boys got into plenty of trouble during the 1960's. They had various boats, up to six at a time, including a Seaford Skiff for...

Bill, The hook is standard Sunfish equipment. It works for me. It does not work nearly as well as a sheetblock and cam cleat, but it is adequate for snubbing the sheet so that all the force is not on your hand. It does not hold the sheet it just adds friction to relieve some of the strain...

Bill, The rolled over edge just about clinches it. In addition, the cockpit is one with the deck and there is no storage well on the aft wall of the cockpit. The halyard cleat is right to the starboard of the mast, where the halyard fairlead is on a Sunfish. The good news is other than the...

Bill, Might be a Wind Flight. They were made for Sears about that time. The lower hull is a regular Sunfish hull the upper hull is different. Instead of the plastic coaming there are wood trim pieces that screw to the ridge you mention. The sail is the same size as a sunfish but the symbol...

I can't speak for Bill's case but mine, which is also a '76, already had a plastic bailer. The hole looks like it came that way right from the factory.
