I took my sunfish out of the water today. It spent 3 days in salt water in my slip here, and did 4 or 5 beach landings. The behr garage epoxy held up great to all of it. There were no blisters or bubbles from sitting in the water that others have described. The beach landings didn't peel...
Just got back from a sail on my sunfish ~4-5 miles off coast to an Island, and then back again. Boat performed perfectly over and back. I wouldn't have even considered making the sail however if I did not have a buddy in another boat that could save me if something went wrong (broken master...

First post here!
Just purchased a '73 sunfish that came w/ standard class rigging, along with the super sunfish rigging. The previous owner really didnt seem to know much about the boat or how to properly rig it. Thanks for posting those pictures, I was fairly certain the way he showed me to...
