Re: new owner questions


 

Hi Carlos,
Yeah, I know how ot feels to begin sailing, wonderful isn't it!
I am 62 and still get the thrill!
I'd suggest that you store the sails in a closed container....most of my sails are larger and I use trash cans taped shut. I store all lines in there too. Mice and rats will find a nest in them if they are around sometimes chewing holes and making stains.
Many sunfish are stored on saw horses in a garage out of the weather. Anyway I would store it inverted to keep it dry. It probably won't hurt it to be stored on its side unless it blows over.
For a second boat I suggest one that you can step the mast by yourself. As I have gotten older this has become more important as I sail mostly by myself in a trailered boat. I have a couple of 12.5 puffers, a Chrysler mutineer, and a rebel...only have to have help with the rebel. There are jillions of boats like these that are easy to rig. Good luck in finding one. Some of my friends sail one design boats in the summer and cruisers in the winter months.
