PFD's (life vests) don't skimp here. A comfortable vest makes all the difference

Thanks to you both

It really just doesn't get tight enough. Is there any way, other than tape, to tighten it up? Did a search here first, only got tape thanks roland

how did you attach the back loop to the boat?

I bought a set of spars, sail and mast from him. Nice guy, I got good value

Well, I have one like that, was a couple years newer and not quite as heavy (180 lbs). Used two inspection ports, some time and a $15 computer fan and the boat weighs 130ish pounds. The foam is structural and removing is a pain in the butt. I will let the more experience people give you...

My club requires PFD's be worn at all times, but the swim test includes putting on a PFD in the water ( I think just to show you how hard it is)

Hey George See you are sailing out of Swartswood Lake. Did you know that there is a pretty large sailing club on Spruce Run? Hunterdon Sailing Club | Sailing, sailboat racing and sailing lessons in northern New Jersey They have a large Sunfish fleet, club boats, training and other activities...

Well, I don't wear a wetsuit when I sail, but I do when I dive (in warmer water, in cold I use a drysuit) or when I used to surf. The way a wetsuit works is that it lets in water that your body will then heat. This warm water keeps you warm. That is why they are called wetsuits. So you don't...

I cheated, used ss screws and some 5200 to attach. Would have had to buy a rivet tool.

Sanding on the mast makes sense, would have never thought of that

Do I have to use aluminum rivets or are stainless steel screws OK? thanks roland

Sorry didn't see that until too late. I 84 would have been have been a pretty big detour for you anyway. Have a box fan coming from amazon, I am go to see how light I can get it. Right now take 4 of us to carry

thanks

I have an American 14.6 from the same company. Great people to deal with. They know I bought the boat 4th hand, but still go out of their way to answer questions and help me when they can. Highly recommend the company

Bought 2 Sunfish and a trailer (well really wanted the trailer). One of the Sunfish is in pretty good shape, for an a fifty year old boat. The other is very wet, probably filled with water at some time and missing sails and spars. I put the bad one up for free and craigslist as I didn't want...

Right now it is closed again for swimming. We had no problems or saw any HAB sheets of algae. I would probably sail, but the sailing club is cancelling until they get the all clear. We got lucky that they had a couple days open and closed again

Had my Sunfish sailing lessons. Had a blast, my thanks to the instructors of the Hunterdon Sailing Club. Wind was pretty brisk and rolled it twice. Main differences I found between my American 14-6 and the Sunfish were: 1. My American tacks easier and maintains speed better through a tack...
