I'm in the market for a Sunfish too, and looks like we're in the same area. You are totally right about the market here, it's probably even worse where I am.
Wavedancer,
How can we find out about the Worlds boats? I'd jump on one of those!
Call Laser Performance (LP) and ask them about the Worlds boats. Some dealers (like TackleShack) get them, others aren't interested, it seems. The LP US factory is in Portsmouth RI ( try 401-683-0960). I am curious to find out why the supply of Sunfishes is so limited; I was under the impression that boat sales were down.
I got my Sunfish today. Darn it, it has a damaged parts from shipping, but claim has been made. Just a little rain on my party and not to be discouraged by these matters.
Tip of centerboard broken and small damage in gelcoat. I'm going sailing.
My new sunfish is a 2009 that was raced in 2008 Worlds Buffalo Canoe Club. The number is 3809. I cannot find race results or race conditions. Where can I find?
The boat was in great shape with crisp sails until they shipped and damaged the hull and centerboard. I do plan to sail it today and will take some photos
