So, I recently received a free wooden Sailfish hull, and I would like to restore it. That's the part I know how to do, as I have done wooden-boat work before, and am fond of it.
To get back on track, I'd like to make this a nice looking boat, while updating the spars to aluminum (I need the strength of the aluminum where I live). This is easy, as I will just get Sunfish rigging. However, I've searched the internet high and low, and I cannot find anyone who may make Sailfish sails as a custom hobby, and sell them to others. That is why I've come here, as I used this forum when repairing my Sunfish by looking at other questions people had and such, and I felt that this was a good place to look.
So, if anyone knows someone who may make these sails with a Sailfish logo, or knows a website or place that does, it would be very much appreciated if you could list them here, with contact information. All I need is a Sailfish sail with (haven't decided whether I will varnish the entire hull or paint it) a simple design, which will be either all white with a black logo (if I varnish the entire thing), or white and blue [or] red stripes (depending on if I choose painting the boat) on the sail.
I won't be needing this for a while, as I have to save up some more money, and I am just getting done with my Sunfish restoration. If this person has spoken with you or something and you hand me their contact information for instance, they just need to know that it may be a few months or so before they hear from me again.
It's not a huge loss if I can't secure a Sailfish sail, as I always have my Sunfish rigging, which fits the boat fine. It's just I want to make the boat a really nice project to be proud of, and sail while thinking about how nice of a restoration it came out to.
