Would it be harmful to store my sunfish on it's side over the winter? :confused: I was thinking of putting a piece of carpeting down on the garage floor, and then rolling the boat up on it's side edge, and I'd hold it in place (against one of my garage walls, inside) with a strap or something...

Wow! Although Neil Pryde sails are roughly half the price of sails from SunfishDirect.com, I notice that the weight of the material is very different. SunfishDirect uses 6 oz Dacron, while Neil Pryde uses 3.8 oz Polyester. I assume the 6 oz Dacron is better on many levels, but is it worth...

I just bought a used boat trailer to haul my "new" sunfish around. The trailer has 4' bunks located on the back end of the trailer between the wheels, and a roller farther forward on the tongue. Boat trailer bunks are straight, and parralel to each other, while sunfishes have a curved chine...

Does anyone use this? As is, if you flip the boat you'll lose what you have in there. Has anyone rigged strapping or webbing to keep things secure? What do you store in your compartment?

You folks are probably gonna think I'm crazy with all the nit-picking little questions I keep coming up with about my recently acquired '73 sunfish. It's just that when I get into something new I want to know everything about it. I'm going over every inch of it to make sure I have a water-tight...

I've got the old style wooden centerboard (1973 Sunfish) and am wondering - which edge of the board should face forward? The edge that's straight all the way to the bottom, or the edge that curves near the bottom? Thanks.

New sailor here, haven't been out yet - still doing some maintenance on the "new" 1973 SF and looking for a trailer. Meanwhile, I've been reading up on rigging and sailing. In the rigging guide it says to tie the halyard between the 9th and 10th sail clips on the upper boom, counting from the...

Does anyone know if colored "Duck" brand duct tape would work as a patch for sails? Much cheaper at wal-mart than the tape usually used for sail patches.

Okay, I just took several readings of my 1973 sunfish on my bathroom scale. The first one was 137.5, the next two were 147, then 149.5, then two more at 147. I figure the high and low were errors due to my accidentally supporting or leaning on the hull. I know that's 17 pounds too heavy and...

I just bought a 1973 sunfish. The deck and hull are nice and firm, but there are clusters of hairline cracks here and there on the deck, probably from something banging against it. I'm not sure about the hull yet, have to wash it to see how it looks. It does look and feel sound, although on the...
