That is about 25 years BV (before Vanguard)

I have noticed that Sunfish ages listed in craigslist ads are often *several* years off. Old-style rudder and yet it is a 1983? Yeah I don’t think so.

 

[beldar boathead]

It’s a new style rudder. That color scheme is from mid 70s.

What is the purpose of the (white plastic) rings around the mast?

Better yet, is that a forestay?

I saw that and the line looks awful straight like it could be a stay. Wondered if anyone else noticed. It's several hundred miles from me or I would check it out.

The line looks like it is going through the handle and back to the cockpit(footwell). It looks rough and missing cleat.

I have the exact color Sunfish I purchased few decades ago, mine is an Alcort 74. The boat included a striped sail of the same color. The daggerboard from that era went to a tapered style which sideslips alot. I replaced it with a new daggerboard.
