I recently launched my Sunfish for the first time that has been refurbished . Everything was fine until I noticed after the sail that the hull had taken on 1 or 2 cups of water. As there is no drain plug and no other thruhull devices, I am certain the water must be coming in through the daggerboard trunk, even though it has no obvious leaks. Another issue I had was that the daggerboard seemed very loose.
So: Has anyone repaired the daggerboard trunk in their Sunfish who can give me some advice on how to go about it? I have a 6" Inspection port which makes access reasonably easy.
What do I do about the loose daggerboard? Is this normal? There is a small brass spring device on the side of the daggerboard which looks like it is designed to help hold the board in place but it seems OK.
Thanks!
