Well, I just bought a sunfish. I'm picking it up tonight! I'm told that it weighs in at 125#, so I'm pretty sure I won't need to be drying it out, which is good. I certainly didn't get a steal on it, but I didn't want to forfeit an entire summer of sailing trying to save a couple hundred dollars. Here's to a fun summer of sailing!
Picking up boat tonight

Good job coldpass. Give us the details on your fish. Where are you sailing?
It's an unmolested '72. Olympic sail (the colors) and a white hull with red and blue stripes. For a 35 year old boat it's in great shape.
We live on a lake that's roughly 1/4 mile by 1/4 mile square (30 acres) and wanted somthing to enjoy out on it. I've been out on the water the last two evenings and having a blast! Our dog isn't sure that he's entirely comfortable sailing with us, but he's getting used to it.
I've managed to get stuck in irons a couple times, but haven't flipped yet. (Although I did flip the neighbor's Minifish a few times.)
I need to make some sort of a stand for the boat to pull it out of the water but keep it easy to launch. Anyone have pictures of something that they've done?
