I'm a newbie to this site and I just purchased a wooden Sunfish, Serial #12328, which I believe dates to 1963. I plan to restore it and am looking for a copy of the assembly instructions for the Sunfish Kit. I have a copy of the assembly instructions for the Sailfish kit and If anyone wants a copy I will email them to you. This is my 3rd Sunfish, my previous two were fiberglass. I helped my Dad build a Sailfish kit back in the 1970s so this is a project I have always wanted to try as no plans to build an authentic Sunfish are available. Any suggestions on how to start and pitfalls to look out for will be greatly appreciated.Any hints from your restoration project are welcome. Thanks. Jim

The Kit Assembly Instructions can be found in Files of Yahoo Sunfish_Sailor Group: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/sunfish_sailor/files/Wooden Fish 1945 - 1966/
Also the Sailfish Assembly Instructions and a cool 3 page engineering diagram of DIY specs.
