    Looking for safety tips for sailing all alone

    I just skimmed thorough and don't know if it has been mentioned, but you can get a waterproof phone pouch with a lanyard on amazon for pretty cheap. you can even use the touch screen through the pouch!

    Maybe this will be my Sunfish

    $440 dollars is still a steal, at least where I am in NC, especially with a trailer!

    Sunfish dock lift

    We have an old hand crank jetski lift attached to our dock which is what I use during the summer. Not sure how well those would work on a floating doc or even how much they run for. Ours came with the dock and it is loud as heck.

    Medford, MA? How big is your vehicle? I car-top my sunfish on my 2005 Subaru Outback, which is not a very big vehicle. That might be a doable option as long as you don't mind driving a little slower and checking the top of your car every once in a while.

    World’s ugliest Sunfish sail?

    Oh, I'm not saying that I'd love that particular sail in the shape it's in, but I really wouldn't mind sailing with a brand new version of it. It would be a head turner for sure.

    World’s ugliest Sunfish sail?

    Yeah, I would't call that ugly. I would love to be sailing around with something like that.
