A year ago, I went back to our old family homestead in northern Wisconsin. When I was eleven in 1976, my Dad and I went and bought this cool Sunfish while I was visiting him in Florida. We drove it up to Wisconsin that summer and I helped him carry it down the hill to the boathouse on the lake. It has been there ever since. He taught me to sail that summer and it was my favorite thing to do besides swimming in the lake. Well, last summer, I had so much fun sailing I bought a new one when I got home and have been sailing here in California all year. This summer, I went back to Wisconsin and had a new sail sent along with some other new lines and parts. I have learned a huge amount about the boat on the Sunfish Forum and took an inventory of repairs for when I go back next summer. Overall, the old Sunfish sits high in the water and sails really good especially with the new LP sail I bought. My sailing abilities have improved vastly and I was able to sail five out of the six days I was there and had a real blast showing off for my my Dad and reaching up and down the north side of the lake. I wanted to share some photos with everyone and say thanks for all the advice I have received.
