    For removing residue like that tape I usually just reach for acetone or whatever goo remover like beldar mentioned, but I've never had to remove it from a sail (usually just those crappy little stickers dealers love to put on cars). I've also heard rubbing alcohol and WD-40 or even oil (e.g...

    As far as "plans" the I think The Sunfish Bible should have them if you wanted a hard copy of all kinds of info on hand, but there's loads of online resources too: This thread has daggerboard info. The resources section has specs for the daggerboard and rudder Sunfish Class has a class rules...

    Help identifying model year of a Porpoise II

    Hopefully I don't need to do that. I've got basically no fiberglass experience and I'd be afraid of messing up the seams. But I was thinking of putting the inspection port in a similar place as your photo. It seems like trying to get more center-line (like between the splash guard and dagger...

    Help identifying model year of a Porpoise II

    So I think your "big gulp" hypothesis is right. It's dark and hard to see inside, but we had some heavy rain here and I was able to get a better look mid-day with more light. When I looked into the self-bailers after draining out some rain water I could see might reflecting off the water inside...

I couldn't really get a picture, but it just seems like a straight drop to the drain with the scoop opening aftward. Almost as...

    Help identifying model year of a Porpoise II

    All Shortypen had was some specs. I sifted through about 10 pages of search results here and didn't find much (seems like the Super Porpoise is more popular). I'll try to investigate and get you some pics of the drains this evening. As an aside: the boat has rubber trim around the edge and it...

    Help identifying model year of a Porpoise II

    I'm considering it and that's probably what I'll have to do. If anything it's curiosity compelling me now, like I can't just give up. Google has found references to people owning '72s, but I haven't found a reference to a '71 yet. So 1972 is the most likely year, I just don't know if there's...

    Help identifying model year of a Porpoise II

    Could anyone help a newbie out on identifying the model year of a Porpoise II? I need the year number to register it, but I'm stumped. I recently bought a cheap Porpoise II so I'd have something I could rough up while learning and not feel bad about. However, I don't exactly know the model...
