Hi all.
I've been out of sailing my own boats for almost 30 years. I decided to finally rectify this.
My local summer paper, The Vineyard Times, has a classifeid section called the Bargain Box each week. It almost always has sunfish listed for sail, but sometimes has other "fish" boats listed. I bought a sailfish a couple of weeks ago for $50. It's in decent shape, not new, but sailable. I paid $50 for it. Was this a good price?
I was given a sunfish this last weekend. I had to make a few simple repairs to get it ready to sail.
I think I've spent about $4 on hardware to fix rudder problems on the two boats.
I'm considering buying a minifish that is listed for $30. Is this a good price?
My family and friends are kidding me about my growing "fleet." I think that getting 3 boats for $80 is a good deal, even if the boats are 30-40 years old. My two kids had never sailed before this summer. Now they are hooked!
Oh, I'm thrilled to find such a great resource for learning about these boats.
