    PVC Sail Tubes

    In our neck of the woods, the green sewer pipe was more expensive than the pvc pipe.

    P.S. - I think I would use the Seitech Dolly sling instead of the pipe in this project. http://www.apsltd.com/c-4581-seitechdollyparts.aspx

    How do you get rid of scuff marks?

    Thank you all very much for your replies. Davavd, these do look more like scratches. I don't think this owner took very good care of this boat. I plan on turning that trend around. :)

    PVC pipe sail tube dimensions?

    I just did a search and could not find the exact dimensions for the pvc pipe sail tube. I know the tube needs to be 8" in diameter to fit everything, but what is the length? Does it need to be 14 feet or 15 feet? If it's 15 feet, I don't think it will fit our trailer. Thanks.

    How do you get rid of scuff marks?

    Okay, now that I have the boat turned over, I can see that the light blue hull has these white scuff marks all over the bottom. How do I get rid of these? Is there a way to buff them out? I want to wash and wax this hull, so what products do you all use? I also noticed a slight crack in...

    Trailer Design Feedback

    Wow, you've been busy! I love your ideas. The hardware holder is sweet. Everything in one place. Well, I now have more projects for my neighbor! We were thinking of doing the pvc sailbox, but I think I like this hardware holder better. I'm not sure our trailer is long enough for the...

    Trailer Design Feedback

    So when you are talking dimensions, how many inches from the end and the bow would the cradles be placed? Would you add a cradle to the mid section? I'm new, so what's the chine, where is it? Sorry for the dumb question. :rolleyes:

    Trailer Design Feedback

    Yes, the seller had the boat resting on the bow stop like that. You can guess what happened when we were towing. That's right, the boat shifted forward and scraped up against the winch. It hit the metal side of the bow, so not much damage occurred, but it was scary. I am looking at reworking...

    Hello, new here with a new Sunfish.

    Re: New here with a new Sunfish. Thanks, Webfoot. We have since reworked the bow snubber so that the bow is placed where it is up against the snubber. I think I'd like to replace the snubber all together though because it is quite brittle and worn. Getting this trailer customized is our #1...

    Hello, new here with a new Sunfish.

    Re: New here with a new Sunfish. Another question: The seller gave me a brief lesson on setting this boat up, but I'm not sure I can remember everything he showed me. Is there some kind of pdf guide I can download? I downloaded the pdf Rigging Manual, but it wasn't what I was looking for...

    Hello, new here with a new Sunfish.

    New here with a new Sunfish. This is my second attempt at trying to post our exciting news, so hopefully this one will turn out. We are so thrilled about becoming new Sunfish owners. We purchased our Sunfish on Saturday, and I think we got a good deal at $700. I'm glad I found this forum...

    I'm going to attempt attaching photos of our new 1986 Sunfish we just purchased Saturday. I think we got a good deal at $700. We are excited about this boat and can't wait to get sailing. The photos of our sailboat on the trailer will give you an idea of what we're dealing with. Also, this...

    Well, I have good news. It just so happens that my handy man neighbor took a look at our new Sunfish and the trailer, and he wants to make the perpendicular padded supports for me. I'm not sure which photos you all were referring to, but I want to give him the correct info and photos so that...
