Wondering if anyone knows if a mini-sunfish and sunfish use the same size sail?
(I have 2 minifish that I am using to introduce my children, nephews and neighbors to sailing with. They were excellent finds (albeit in not perfect condition) which I have $100 and $250 invested in. They seem to be slightly different in size (perhaps based on the year--both of which I would guess to be 70s or 80s). They have different sized centerboards (one is longer and slightly wider than the other- as is the hull)
The sails on both could use replacing --- I see many sunfish sails for sale but rarely anything for the mini-sunfish. Has anyone sailed both types? Are they similar in performance?
I am always looking to purchase another one or two to add to the "fleet" ---- I would actually eventually like to start a sailing camp. Has anyone heard of marinas/club/camps that occasionally upgrade their boats and let the older one go at reasonable prices?
Thanks.
