Hey all,
I'm new to this board and to Sunfish sailing in general. I just recently bought a 1977 and restored it, and am absolutely in love with this boat. I'm planning on storing it on the beach, the hull, mast and spars. I'm concerned that mildew and rot will destroy the sail if I don't keep it waterproofed somehow, does anybody have experience with the Sunfish Direct spar bags? They say that they're canvas, and "Stands up to the elements", but no mention of waterproof. I was thinking also of getting a long piece of PVC pipe and two end caps, and storing them on the boat that way, any advice?
Also, I'm in school at The College of Charleston, SC. Anybody around here wanna go sailin'?
