    NJ Sunfish Registration

    I had kind of the same problem,my dad gave me the boat for xmas, when I looked asked him for the title (3 years later) he couldn't find it. I was told by the SC DNR that they could do a "stolen title or stolen boat check" It would take a lot longer but it could be done. I was lucky and found...

    NJ Sunfish Registration

    I had the same type of thing, I called the south Carolina DMV and was told I didn't need to register my SF. 3 years later a SC DNR officer (department of natural resources) told me I couldn't sail again until I paid $35.00 for a onetime sticker (along with a $40.00 late fee). Seems to me The...

    Sunfish Sail

    How much did the "sail kit" cost, and where did you get it. I got the intencsty sail 2 years ago, I was very happy with it but I left it on the water all spring and summer, and the sun has caused it to start breaking down. I know this is my fault, and not the quallity of the sail. For the money...

    Sailfish + VW Bus Ad

    I think this is the right term, the leech of the sail is to long? For it to have the upper spar that high the lower boom should be angled up at about 40 deg.

    Mooring

    I used to leave mine moored with the mast up until one day I looked out at it pitching in the waves. I don't know if this is just my paranoia, but it seamed that I was causing undo ware on the mast step by leaving it up. Now I lay the mast and spars across the hull.

    Intensity white sail with window

    Roccaan, I got this sail about 2 years ago. I love it! It seems as good as a race sail for 1/4 the price. I leave it out on the water, all summer long and it is holding up very well. My reason was I wanted a window. good luck, I think you'll like it, Mike

    Required safety equipment for sailing a Sunfish?

    LAuman, I was under that impression in south Carolina as well. I even called and asked if I need to register and was told I didn't. It wasn't until the S.C. DNR (Dept. of Natural Resources) gave me a ticket for not having a title "sticker". My SF was a gift and I didn't know that it hadn't...

    Required safety equipment for sailing a Sunfish?

    Well, If SC is South Carolina, you don't have to register. But you are required to have it titled. I know because I got a ticket for not having it current. You also have to have a paddle and whistle as well as a PFD. If SC is Southern California pleases disregard ...Mike

    Daggerboard

    Well, still looking for a cheap dagger board, without much luck. A friend offered my her board from a snark, I haven't seen it yet, does anyone know the dimension of the snark board? Will it work for a sunfish until I can find a sunfish board? Thanks Mike

    Sorry, I was just trying to spare others the trouble I had when I first came to the site. I don't know what it has to do with Aristotle or cell phones, but message received "sit down and shut up".
