    wooden rudder and dagger are in bad shape

    Last winter I tried to sand and varnish and sand and varnish and sand and varnish myself. Still look really bad. So before I cave and buy new ones, I wanted to ask you if you think it would make sense to find a carpenter to give it a go. Otherwise I'll buy new but not wood again--too much wear...

    Has anyone bought and used a Mobi mat to roll boat and trailer to water?

    Yes, with balloon wheels. But it’s still hard to pull up after sailing because there’s an incline. And yeah, the mobi mats are very expensive. Not really considering it.

    Has anyone bought and used a Mobi mat to roll boat and trailer to water?

    It’s over softish sand, about 30-40 feet. We are on a tidal bay so we need to pull boat pretty far up most of the time.

    Sail tear

    Just found a tiny less than half inch tear in my sail. We put waterproof electrical tape on both sides as a temporary fix. Advice please: should I leave it alone or is there a better method to save sail?

    We are on a tidal bay with a hundred feet of sand between where we put boat and the water. It’s a little hard to roll trailer to water, and getting harder every year as we get even older. Saw online the website for mobi mat and wondered if that was something to consider. Or perhaps someone has a...

    Break in/ things to know about a new sunfish

    I've been dreaming of replacing ratchet block with a cleat. Is this something an old lady could do herself? If so would you please tell me where to buy a cleat, exactly what to buy and how to install it? [Back in the day there was always a cleat to lock the sheet. I asked for one when I bought...

    Pulling Sunfish up from shoreline to beach

    We use a dolly with fat tires to launch and collect from our calm bay on Long Island. The land inclines toward the water so its easy to launch. However, pulling boat on dolly up the incline is hard and takes two people. OK, we"re old. But still--its hard! Recently vacationed on a beautiful lake...

    Sunfish instruction vacation?

    I was there about eight years ago. Loved it! Looked at their web site this morning. No more huts in the hills. Now huts waterside sort of over the water like in Tahiti. Great recommendation.

    Sunfish instruction vacation?

    Just realized I have a block of time free mid May. I would like to find a vacation destination where I can take some lessons to increase my sunfish sailing skills. I have no clue if such places exist but if they do I absolutely know you all will be the source of info!
