A week ago i bought my first sunfish. Its a 78 and in pretty decent shape. It does have a few spots that Im worried about leaking, so im going to do a little repair work before sailing it.
In particular, the resin inside of the mast tube and the daggerboard trunk needs to be repaired. There are several "open spots" where i can see that the fiberglass matte has no resin on top of it. I imagine these were spots where the resin bubbled and was chipped off.
Does anyone have any words of advice. I saw on sunfish direct that they recommend sanding it before applying more resin, then sanding again afterwards. I dont see how i can physically sand the inside of the daggerboard trunk. Has anyone out there found a good trick or tool to get in there and do this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
