Hi all, my wife picked up a sunfish and our family is all eager to learn how to sail. The boat initially could not be lifted by the two of us so after reading around on here I cut two inspection ports and ran a computer fan at the end of last year. It had to be stored outside under a covered deck with a tarp over the winter and back in garage now, out for sunny days. We've just weighed it now that we can lift it and it is 209 pounds.
Our goal is to have a boat that our whole family can learn on. We certainly are not going to be racing it, and I'm not looking to make it beautiful, just functional. There's a lot of gelcoat cracking and I see fiberglass in only two small places. I'm starting to think that after reading over the forums we may have bitten off more than we can chew. I'm looking for advice and some kind of order about how one would approach the rehab. It came with two sails and mast, one sail has a very small tear but the other is in good working order (took it out briefly last year).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, even if it's scrap it and move on.
