I know that this forum has a general dislike for keeping/storing Sunfish upright however I've decided mine would live at the dock for easy access as I hate having to trailer it. With that in mind I set about making a small sling type stand for it rest upon.
The wood is Spanish Cedar, a member of the Mahogany family and a real nice wood to work with. All joints were made with West epoxy and the pocket holes filled with tinted epoxy then sanded flush, then the whole shebang was sealed with Spar Urethane. The sling is 2" heavyweight Polypropylene attached with the same clips used to make chairs.
My Sunfish looks a bit lonely in these photos but the dock it's on actually has about a dozen other Sunfish, they're just behind and to the left of where I was standing, so it's in good company.
Sorry for the slightly crappy pics:
