I initially was thinking this video was about a sailor who sailed the trip in a Sunfish.. Still nice video, has anyone done the trip via Sunfish?

For your registration numbers - check with your state. It varies state to state. Some states the boats are small enough not to be registered, others require it. There is a difference in the state registration (numbers and yearly tag on the hull) vs the numbers on your sail - thats for your...

Can someone explain or post a picture for proper mounting of a Ronstan battle stick? Thanks.. -Erik

I found and bought on Craigslist - $275 for a '74 Sunfish in excellent condition except the sail was worn, and latter $500 for a very good '76 Sunfish WITH a brand new sail. $1400 for a '70 Sunfish? Hate to be the fool who buys it and finds out later what a sucker they were...

Exactly 42.3 days - then you would die. Any other questions? -Erik

Put it in the for sale section.

I would love to take my Sunfish's on a big lake.. stop torturing me! All I have is smaller lakes in New Mexico.. thank god for summer storms! -Erik

yea I have to agree- the trailer is made of the worst metal I have ever seen. The axle and hubs seem ok, but the rest is minimal. But ok for some uses.. -Erik

Yea thats true, but I was talking about wheel bearings as most people forget about them. As for tires.... For tires, the bigger the better, but for small trailers like our Sunfish trailers, most won't be able to fit a 13"+ tire. I have noticed I can go a little faster than the rated speed...

I have the same trailer but with the 12" wheels. Harbor freight sells both. I cut the trailer in half and put a box on it to pull behind my Harley. I have carried 150-200lbs up to 90mph with no issues after towing 5000 miles. If your pulling on highway I would go with the 12" wheels vs. the...

I use a bicycle pump, even if the connection is leaking you will still see the leaks when you pump it. I only pump a few times as I don't want to make more leaks. -Erik

I'd like to see a jib put on the Sunfish like the first post said vs. completely changing to another makers sail adapted to the Sunfish. -Erik

uhhh. ok.

Looks like a great boat to sail with some friends. -Erik

I would add a cam cleat but since the boat is for my small boys and wife learning to sail- and its gusty in New Mexico - it would only make them dump it over more often.... -Erik

The only time I get any water in the boat is when the wind is really howling and you are on plane or almost there, then I unscrew the drain knob and let the water out. The water is almost always from spray. I usually carry a sponge on slower days to totally empty the cockpit. I am inland so...

You can also talk and bring up the incident to the Coast Guard Aux - they can't issue a ticket but will then tell the harbor master. Usually if the CGAUX hears of a problem they will try to fix it by explaining to the boat in question the rules of the water. If the CGAUX can't fix the...

Post some pictures! -Erik

I've towed just about every boat trailer in the world and seen just about every problem also as my dad owned a boat shop when I was in High School and I would pick up boats 200 miles away and tow them back. If you going to be on the highway or going out of town you might want is to ADD weight...
