This past year I bought this sunfish project boat from the original owner who was 98 years old, he said he does not remember how long he had it, but he last sailed it 3 years ago on lake Ontario (good for him!!!). I was wondering if anyone could give me any more info on the possible year/ history on my cute little project?
Thanks!
Does the little white label on the sail say Ratsey and Lapthorn? If so the sail is likely original and probably in the best shape of any ‘66 sail on the planet!!

It used to be you’d have a sailmaker add the window as they came without them. I’m sure that is the case here. I am not positive, but I think when they switched from Ratsey to Fogh windows might have become an option.
you are correct the man had it put in 3 years before I bought the boat, it is not original. Other than that and the odd pin hole here or the its in great shape.
