that looks like it'll clean up pretty well. needs a little glass work but theyre great to work on if you have a garage or walk in basement. post up pics when youre done!Redoing what I think is a 1972 Sunfish. First time doing something like this, but I'm handy and I have the internet. ;-)View attachment 49528View attachment 49528

I’m also working on a Nutshell pram. The spars, rudder, oars and dagger have been refinished. The hull is wrapped in a tarp and on sawhorses, waiting for the spring thaw. Won’t be too much longer!What are ya'll working on this Winter? We have a Catfish to repair but I want to build a hoist first.

The wooden Sunfish project might gain traction this year, so it could be ready for the 2023 70th Anniversary. We have the patterns for the frames, deck, hull, side planks and transom, plus all of the measurements. Should we do the 1950s long coaming or the 1960s V coaming? I think we'd modify it for the new style rudder.

To whet our appetite for the Sunfish we are building a 7'7" Nutshell Pram. We have the plans and the Builder's guide, going to get the plywood tomorrow.

It’s the smaller one, 7’7”. Your Nutshell is coming along so quickly and is looking great!Breeze Bender, what size is your Pram?
Signal charlie is great at that fix, but his skill set is beyond master.
I would put ports in and start the drying process. You would have a couple months to dry.
I then would do a leak test to find where the water is cong in and fix them.
