Air Leak Test for the World's Oldest Sunfish, our 1953 Alcort Sunfish ZIP, she was number 13 of 20 pre-production boats built for Al and Cort's family and friends. Whereabouts of boats 1-12 and 14-20 unknown:
Mainsheet not through the block on the boom and (back to the photo)...Here's a teaser. There is something wrong in this photo, so wrong that Skipper brought the boat back in so I could fix it. One big thing and one other adjustment. See if you can spot them.
"The Whiskey Screw."
I clocked all the screw slots on vertical surfaces either vertical or horizontal. Horizontal would reduce wind resistance and vertical allows better moisture drainage and corrosion prevention. There were a lot more screws on the rub rail, but it was also close to the water, Skipper chose vertical for the moisture drainage and said she would make up the lost time from increased air drag. On the coaming the screw slots were bigger so I chose horizontal for decreased wind resistance.
For horizontal surfaces I clocked all the screws to 12 O'Clock.
