I just installed a Harken 009 ratchet block on the deck lip over the cockpit. When I purchased the block the salesperson looked at the eyestrap of a brand new Sunfish and noticed it did not have any backing plate or block. So he said I probably wouldn't need one unless I planned to do some...
Hi Tim
Thanks for your reply. Your method sounds tempting. However, there could be an occasion where the ports may have to be replaced. I am not sure what occasion but the 5200 would definitely make for a permanent installation.

I want to install inpection ports on my two sunfish. I have seen the instructions at Windline and some other sites. However, no one states exactly what kind of fasteners are best to attach the ports. Should I use bolts or screws? And if so what size and type? Any help would be much...

Thankyou Macie

For recreational sailing, is it feasable to sail with two adults in a Sunfish? Does anyone have any tips or tricks for making it more comfortable? I was a longtime Sailfish sailor and always sailed alone. Last year I purchased a Sunfish and joined the class but I have only taken it out by...
Last summer I saw a nice Sunfish Clone for sale called an "Edo Western." It had a molded on Splashguard. The name was on a a little plate on the hull. It looked pretty much like a Sunfish except for that molded on splashguard. I researched it a bit and it seemed to be a limited production...
