Thanks Wayne,
This is certainly useful. I had come across something much more
abbreviated along similar lines. This should certainly help.

Oops,
A few corrections. Here is another attempt at the diagram.

Sunfish Exp. Wind Storage

There are actually a more differences from the Sunfish. The deck
has
molded in non-slip surfaces. The splash rail is molded in and is
much
closer to the mast step. 2 Hiking/toe straps are installed on the
walls of the cockpit. The dagger board is GRP with a wooden head.
There is no line attached to it. It stays up because of carpet
friction. The rudder appears to be different from the Sunfish
rudders.
It is also GRP. I'm not sure yet if it is a kick up rudder or not.
Tiller is Aluminium. I am not familiar with the Sunfish bottom,
but
this boat is smooth kind of like a scow. The boat appears heavier
than 150 lb. It might be because of water soaked up by the foam
blocks
in the hull. The bow is not pointed like the Sunfish, but is
almost
as
if someone chopped off the nose on the Sunfish and closed the hole
flat. There are no cleats on the hull (which kind of concerns me).
There is a drain plug in the transom.
Some of my terminology may not be accurate. I am a newbie and I
haven't yet sailed much.
