Howdy folks:
I am a new guy to the forum and I like what I see. Also, I am a new guy
to sailing. Having reached the ripe young age of 62 and newly retired
I am getting ready to try a lifelong desire to sail a boat.
My trial by fire is a sunfish that I have been in the process of restoring.
Now I am at the point of trying to reduce the weight since it was
waterlogged when I got it. I have gone from about 245 lbs to 195 lbs.
Question is, what is the maximum boat weight that I should consider
sailing the boat? My weight is 170 lbs.
Also, it is now time for me to get a new sail since I don't trust the old
one. Other than trying to find a used sail the most reasonable price I
have been able to find is from AirFX Sails in South Carolina. Is anyone
out there familiar with them? If so I would love to know what your experience
with them has been.
Any help you can give a new guy will be greatly appreciated.
