I have a Super, a Sunfish and a Minifish. I’m thinking of trying the smaller MiniFish sail on the Sunfish when the winds get up above 25. Will post the results to let you know how that goes.I usually wait until August and September to sail my Laser on my local lakes, even then there is only occasionally a day with >10 knots and I only got out a few times this year. Maybe i'll invest in a wet suit. Anyone here ever try a smaller sail on a Sunfish? (I have some if the rig from an old "Skate" boat that is somewhat smaller than a Sunfish, maybe ill look for a good hull)
I went on a 4 day trip with Matt. He really is very safety conscious and incredibly competent.PS: on a more serious note, I have ambivalent feelings about these videos although I must admit that this guy is doing it his own way.

"Can you teach a beginner in 20-knot winds?"I recommend not doing this on a first date...
Fortunately, this lady is quite athletic and not afraid of getting (really) wet.

Fully agree. I took my sister out on Lake St Clair in conditions similar to this. She loved it and can’t wait to do it again. In contrast, I took a couple of the neighbor’s kids out in 4 to 8 mph winds and they were bored out of their mind.On the other hand, trying to teach someone on a light or flukey day can be very frustrating to them, rather than just getting them set up on a course and having them hold it and get a feel for the boat, and have fun.
Westin where do you launch on Lake St Clair? I’m in the shores, looking for next summer. Also looking for trailer recs that don’t require me to build my ownFully agree.
