Radial sunfish sail

[Helme1el]

Hey guys, so I'm doing some research for my grandpa, he wants a sunfish radial sail, he passed up on buying one in the early 90's and has regretted it ever sense. I have done some research and found they did actually make them in 1989? at least i believe they made them I've never seen one or heard of any one besides my grandpa seeing one. I did find some an add for sails from 1989 on here which was a small post just wondering if any one actually had one or had real pictures of one? or might want to sell one?

I'd contact this guy. He appears to have the "Malibu" and lots of other vintage color sails. https://sailfishllc.com/ Let us know if you find one. They are rare. I think someone on here had one a few years back.

I've seen that article before, those sail also look awesome! but it would be really cool to find one of the original sails as it would technically be Race Legal, not that I race, just would be cool. The radial sun fish sail from AMF also starts at the point the Spars come together not the bottom back corner, which is also different.

I have one of the sails he has on the wall. Don’t know the name or if it’s rare (I’ve not seen it before)
Maybe William Thurlow knows? He is the artist behind these beautiful restorations.
