The piece that you tie the string in the dagger board to came out. How do I put it back in?

Are there trailers for Sunfish that you can pull behind your car and then back the trailer into the water to launch the boat? I can’t lift the boat at all so I would need to float in off and onto the trailer.

How do you remove the end cap from the mast? And then how do you put it back? It looks like it has pins holding it in place. I have water in my mast and I want to drain it before storing it for winter since it would freeze in there.

I flipped over and my boat turned upside down- not sure how to keep that from happening. When I turned it upright it sailed off without me quite a ways before flipping over again and I had to swim after it. It sailed off so fast that I couldn’t even grab on to it. How can I keep this from...

I tried taking my friend out on my sunfish. He weighs 200lbs and when he got on the boat it tipped over. We sailed on a light wind day with him sitting next to me and he had to lean way forward to keep us from tipping- plus his legs were in the way Of the cam cleat. I’ve read on here that the...

I am looking to purchase a used Sunfish and will have to pick it up and get it home. Once home, I live on a lake, so I don’t need a trailer. Any suggestions how to safely, easily and inexpensively transport it from the seller’s home to mine?
