Hi all,
This is my first post, so my knowledge of Sunfish boats is minimal.
My dad's Sunfish has been in inside storage for about 20 years, and with my interest in obtaining a trailer and sailing again, we took it out of our (walkout) basement tonight.
Afterwards, I noticed many what appear to be surface cracks in the fiberglass, sort of like crazing or spider webbing-type cracks. Are these normal with a boat of this age? Is there a product to remedy them?
Also, what can I expect from the condition of the sail? It's been inside as well, just rolled up in the cover for most of the years in storage.
I look forward to getting the boat back in the water, and any help or advice would be much appreciated!
By the way, the color of the boat is tan with brown and orange stripe, and the sail is red/orange/brown--tequila sunrise, my dad calls it.
Thanks!
