I found this brochure for 1989 sail color choices. Interesting radial and mylar sails.

I was a class officer back then, and recall when the plant proudly sent us the flyer showing the mylar and radial sails. The officers all about had heart attacks. Since the manufacturer was providing them, they would be class legal, and who knows how they would perform. They could have been better than normal sails. I think our president then was Alan Scharfe, and he managed to get the sails scuttled before they were produced. So as far as I know there are none out there. And the mylar sail was a terrible idea - you cannot properly roll a mylar sail if it is attached to Sunfish booms. It would have been a hideous mess after just a few uses. Chris
 
What prompted me was that I saw an ad for a Sunfish for sale with the radial sail. I thought someone had it custom made.
