Does the hull need repairing? Can you take pictures?
thank youI do hull painting and gelcoat restorstion/repair for a living. There is no replacement gelcoat or paint color on the market, geared for the Sunfish as far as I know. Larger boats...cruisers, powerboats...typically yes. Small daysailor usually not. I agree, if there isn't too much damage, after aggresive compounding, a buff/wax can sometimes work. Colors....and also light blue, becomes more doubtful. The choice is then painting...from rattle cans to professional top coats....your color choice.

Thank you for your insight/experience. really appreciate it. The hull paint/gelcoat is in pretty good condition. Just some small areasI do hull painting and gelcoat restorstion/repair for a living.

Not too bad, if the new paint hasn't disguised additional damage. I'd say a full repaint is in order. My gifted Sunfish, a victim of Hurricane Irma, has a light blue deck, which I've found easy on the eyes.There are a few areas that need minor repair - bow, halfway down the hull. I'll get some photos. thank you
