Greetings All,
I'm new to the group and I have many questions. But I'll resist the
urge to just blurt everything out now!
First, I have an old Wooden Sunfish in need of some
repair/restoration. At first I thought it might be homemade, but I
see in the photos section that kits were sold in the
late '50s/early '60s. Does anyone have a better handle on the
history of the Wooden Sunfishes? Did they use wooden spars and masts
also?
My thought on this boat was to fix it up for my children to learn to
sail. If I go through the process of fixing it up, is it likely to
be worth more or less than a fiberglass boat? [In other words,
should I be cutting my children loose on this thing?]
I also have a fiberglass Sunfish I need to do some work on, but I'll
save those questions for another day.
Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.
Cheers,
Jim
