I've been using one all year, mostly for local stuff. It has made moving boats back and forth to the beach and local regattas a real breeze - I can now load the trailer by myself so my wife is a lot happier. The main knocks on the Right-On trailers:
1. The old generation (which includes mine...
FYI, I still have one sail for sale - it is in a storage tube ready to go and I'd like to get it out of my garage. Dropping the price to $300 plus shipping. It does not come with spars but it fits on regular Sunfish spars.
That it does. The few people who used mid boom sheeting in the SH fleet (which I used to sail in) also had carbon booms - they are a very creative bunch. I still have one sail remaining if anyone wants it.
It definitely does. This is what happens in Sag Harbor. Booms can be cut down if you want a permanent change or left long if you want to toggle sails between spars. I have two of those sails for sale on these forums.
Those are my sails for sale. Still available. Have shipping tubes now as well. Understood that Intensity Sails are less - these are something TOTALLY DIFFERENT obviously. Minimal weather helm. See through. Just not class legal, though neither are the Intensity Sails at certain events of course

Yes. No Jens possible, but also allegedly less of a need with the helm more balanced. They also don't move the gooseneck much, if at all. Also, I am the guy Lee is interviewing in the second half of the video, and it's my sail that he's borrowing for the day.
I am in the Sag Harbor Sunfish fleet - just stumbled across the thread.
I also sail one design Sunfish on Shelter Island.
Cost for the sail is meaningfully more expensive than a stock one design sail (2.5x more) but a lot more care goes into the manufacturing of it and the materials are also...
