I just bought a used sunfish and it looked OK but after inspecting it more closely and reading on the Sunfish forum I see that it needs some work. Thanks for the helpful advice on this forum.
I was so busy concentrating on the hull that when I started looking at the boom, spar, and mast I found a taped up section where spar meets mast. When I unwrapped the section I found a crack where the previous owner must have cut it and inserted a dowel to add strength to the broken spar.
Is this the fix? Although it put a little wow in the spar it looks solid, but I am a little nervous about hitting the ocean and having it snap off.
Any help appreciated.
