    Attaching front handle?

    Mine broke/ripped off. I have no inspection port. I see wood beneath, but can't really assess the condition. I really would like a place to lift on the boat that's sturdy. Guessing that the only solution is to cut a port in the bow and throughbolt the handle (or install a beefier cleat or...

    Which dagger board do I want to keep?

    Looking to get rid of my 1968 sunfish. I got an '81, and am trying to keep the best parts. 2 dagger boards. The one from the newer one is in worse shape. The older one idk if it's original. Any advantage to either one of these?

    New fish

    Been idly combing CL for about a year. Picked up an '81 for $300. I got into this with an old ('68) fish a couple of years ago. I've enjoyed it, but the old style rudder sucks.

    Got a line on a newer Sunfish--not sure of the year but it's got the new rudder style. Sail looks a bit rough, and Hull dirty. But comes with a trailer and asking $500. I've finally got everything straight with my current rig, but if I swap over the sail I'll have a newer boat in nice shape...

It also appears to be a little bit too short, and too thick as well. Does anyone have the...

    Laser rudder on a Sunfish?

    Have a chance to buy a super cheap laser. After reading about the differences between a sunfish v laser, seems like the sunfish is a better choice for a rec sailor with a couple of little kids. However, I'd like to upgrade to the new style rudder. Figured it was a long shot, but didn't know if I...

    New to forums, a few questions...

    Hi all, been looking through the site for the last few days, very informative. I used to screw around on sunfish 20 years ago, but haven't done much since. Have a couple of kids and were hoping to get them into sailing, and picked up a new (very old) Sunfish for $450. At that price, I was ok...
