I was sailing out in the Folly River the other day and met someone who had just recently bough a early 1990s sunfish. We sailed around a bit together and I noticed on the side of the hull was lettered "The Baroness." Was wondering if anyone here has named their boat? If so, do you have it on...
I like it! Think you could post a picture of the dolly with your 'fish on it? I'm having a hard time visualizing the size. As far as you comment on the wheels and the beach goes, at least for the beaches we have here in South Carolina, I would go with something more balloonish to get through...
Part of the reason I'm planning on asking my carpenter friend to make a new one is i'm going to try and keep the original feel of my 1977 sunfish. Would it be better to have a new wooden one made in the same style as the old and get a second polymer daggerboard for racing? Any suggestions?
I'm thinking about asking a carpenter friend of mine to make a new daggerboard for my sunfish... Is there an advantage to any of the styles? My current daggerboard is the Barrington Style.
Howdy,
I'm not sure about the bay, but down here in SC, nothing seems to be required. That being said, there are some things you should have. I use a waterskiing pfd as it was not too expensive and fits well not to mention allows mobility. If your sunfish has the extra storage in the back of...
I'm going to throw my two cents in here too. Definitely practice righting your sunfish. Practice getting it back upright from a full turtle too. Practice having to get the daggerboard back in. THe more you practice with those weird situations that come up only once in a while (like losing...
Okay, so I've been reading through posts on what knots to use, what kind of line to use, and how much. I've seen a lot of references to using a surgeon's knot and using 11" pieces of line. Why 11"? If I use 2mm line and I'm tying the knots with the pencil trick to give some separation, why do...
Okay, so I've read a few threads on how to clean sails, but what aobut the race window? The window on the sail of my (future) sunfish is a little cloudy. any tips on cleaning it? Oh, and to avoid the inevitable question, the sail is original 1977 and I can't afford to replace it right now, so...
Hello to all,
I'm new to the forum and hope y'all can help me. I am looking to buy a sunfish from my uncle this summer. This one has been in the family for years. Perhaps y'all can help me appraise it? Here are some details on the vessel:
