Thanks for the help Supercub! I'm glad to hear I had reason to be confused. I was begining to think it was just me. Now I feel comfortable tapering that rear edge. I didn't want to sand it down and find out I had the wrong side. Have a great day!

This may sound like a stupid question to some, but nonetheless I am confused. I am refinishing a Barrington board. I am ready to taper the trailing edge. I know the dimensions I need to adhere to but I can’t figure out which side is the front and which is the aft. Doah! I thought I knew but...

The website address for the Lake DuBay Sailing Association recently changed. The new address is: http://www.saildubay.org/ Hope to see alot of you there!

Maybe the extra weight is from the ant nest. If they have been in there long enough they could have drug a lot of debris in there. You would be surprised how quickly the stuff would add up. Although 40-50 lbs does sound a little high. Oh well..its just a thought.

Look here: http://www.sunfishclass.org/admin/ISCA_Regs/isca_class_rules03012003.htm Down on page 11. That will give you the length. The I.D. is 2.00” give or take a few thousandths of an inch (.000). I can’t be precise because I measured mine with a tape measurer. I don’t know the O.D...

Thanks for the information Mike. At the risk of sounding ignorant, which I am on this subject, I have last question. Do you recommend placing anything under the sail when I lay it out to wash it? The only place I have big enough to lay out the sail, suitable for cleaning it, would be the...

So do you just put it in a tube and hand wash it? You mentioned the heat from the dryer can breakdown the resin impregnation...what about a hair dryer. The sail I bought was used and had racing numbers on it. To remove the glue left over from the numbers I warmed it with a hair dryer and...

Yes, Yes! I looked in the SF FAQ’s and saw the one on “How do I clean my sail?” The problem is it doesn’t say HOW to clean the sail. It only tells you WHAT to clean it with. I even paged through the SF Bible and searched the internet with Google. I couldn’t find anything. :confused: So...

Don't use a regular steel rod such as 1040. The SF Bible says to use Brass or Stainless Steel. Less chance for corrosion problems.

I thought it was 75 sqft so I did a search on Google for 'Sunfish specifications'. Every website I found said the sail is 75 sqft. I even checked the Vanguard website---75 sqft.

I have a 1970 Sunfish I am restoring. I have run into yet another problem and would appreciate some feedback on how to fix it. I was cleaning the boat this evening and noticed a soft spot at the front, center point of the splash guard. I took the splash guard off to get a better look at...

Why do they hold the Midwest Regional Championships so early in the season? I wouldn't think a person would have much time to practice if they are from a northern area like up state Wisconsin, or Minnesota or the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It wasn’t too long ago we still had ice on the...
