Well, new to me. This Sunfish has been around since 1965, by my estimation. It was the first year the forward deck stripe was offered as an option. It has the halyard block, replaced by the plastic fairlead in ‘66. It’s a beach banger, for sure, but it was sitting high and dry in the water and for $50 I sailed it home, smiling all the way, even though it may have been my last sail of the season. The old style rudder proved to be no problem at all. It has a fun black pirate sail. The blue deck is very chalky but should polish up nicely. There are a couple of ugly (though watertight) repairs. I’m curious to see what’s under all the goop covering the cockpit bailer!
It’s a working weekend so no time to play with boats, but I hope to get this one cleaned up before the snow flies... sigh...
