I grew up sailing a sunfish during summers off a beach on Lake Michigan. Many years later and recently retired, I'm thinking it's time to get back into a sailboat. I now live on a "tidal river" in Massachusetts, with a small floating dock, which floats in water half the time and sits on sand half the time, depending on the tides. We have a Boston Whaler we keep tied to the dock that simply beaches itself when the tide is low, and a couple of Hobie kayaks we pull out and store on top of the dock. However, they light enough for one person to lift. I would love to get back into a new sunfish, but need to know whether it could be stored (during sailing season only) tied to the dock like the whaler, floating in (salt) water half the time, and on dry sand half the time. I could certainly use a cover to help protect it. Thoughts or advice?
