Heads up to anyone out there with a 2021 or newer sunfish. The following are the recent emails from the ISCA regarding the forged or missing world sailing plaques, just discovered my boat doesn't have one:

I have brand new Sunfish sails for sale. These are 3.8 oz Challenge dacron sails with stainless steel grommets and a clear window. These are race cut sails, not flat. No cunningham grommet though. I have 11 colors to choose from, some in limited quantity. Will post actual photos soon. Shipping...
Vanguard Sunfish - '99 I think; new Intensity sail & blades; upgraded lines, bungee, tiller extension etc; virgin Vanguard spars; used for club racing on local NJ lake (fresh water, no waves, no stress); nice hull, no damage, no repairs; some wear scratches and sun fade of deck stripe.
Hey Now,
I rigged my sunfish for the first time this morning — just in time for the wind to die out. I followed a how-to video showing the rigging of a mast with a cleat on its side, but my boat only has a deck cleat, so the procedure for tying my vang had to differ.
Eventually, I managed to...
Hey Now,
I'm bargain hunting to replace the missing rudder assembly on an 81 sunfish. I have the tiller, blade, and mounting bracket, but no head/cheek plate or hardware.
If you've got a spare cheek assembly, carriage bolt, springs — or even a complete rudder, I'm in the market!
Hey now,
This 81 sunfish belonged to my late father. I took her on, and as I was prepping to sail later this week, I discovered there's no damn rudder cheek assembly (main bolt, tension springs, etc) — looks like he never got around to mounting his latest homemade blade. God knows where the...
Hey everyone!
New to the forum here. I've been sailing Sunfish on and off now for close to 10 years, and finally got the chance to buy my first boat. This forum has been super handy for advice for getting the boat dry, cleaning up the bottom gelcoat, and repainting the top (previous owners put...
Hello! I am looking for a sunfish trailer. Cartopping is not as easy for me as it used to be. And a trailer would let me go by myself.
Also interested in a trailer/sunfish combo (new rudder style) as my pre 1972 rudder has been giving me issues lately.
I am in Erie PA but willing to drive a...

Looking for help identifying a possible sunfish. I don’t know the full history but I’m guessing this boat is pre-1980’s given how long it’s been in our family. The molded coaming is throwing me, can’t seem to find anything definitive online. I do know the rudder bracket is custom made, so...

Hello all, I am in the market for a racing Sunfish. Ideally 1997 (start of Vanguard) or newer. I am located in Pittsburgh, PA and sail in NW Pennsylvania. NE Ohio is pretty close as well.
We are not in a hurry since it is cold out, but keeping my eyes out. Also already have a Sunfish and...
Looking for a Sunfish or even two for a family of girls who need to learn to sail out here near Boise, Idaho. I learned on a Sunfish years ago and loved it. I understand there are many new options, and I'd be open to something else - Raser Pico, Rocket, RS Zest, etc. -- but the Sunfish is tried...

Located in Rockland County, NY.
Hi. I recently purchased a used sunfish, and the daggerboard is damaged. I was hoping to find a durable daggerboard here for slightly less than I've seen online. Please leave asking prices and pictures. Thanks so much! My email is [email protected] if you want to contact me there.
Howdy everyone! I am a counselor at a summer camp in Maine currently in possession of four sunfish sailboats. These boats are very well loved and highly under cared for, with ages ranging from 4 years - long before my time. I grew up and learned to sail in some of them and would love to provide...
Serial #: AMF89597 M 81 D
INCLUDES:
Hull, rudder, daggerboard, AND mast & sail (sail BRAND NEW, never used...extremely hard to find this rig).
Hull is in decent condition, but repairs that were started need to be finished. I prepped/sanded, but the hull needs epoxy touch-ups and painting...
Now before anyone gets mad at me for posting about an imitation sunfish in the Sunfish Forum, here me out! I have a Lockley-Newport Panther that is essentially the same thing as a Sunfish, so I imagine the hull repair would be the same, hence this seemed the most relevant place to ask. Also...
