Hello Jeff,
There are a couple of links you may find useful in the bookmark section of
this group. You may also find the inner hull pictures in the files section
helpful in your fix-up efforts.
To save you a little time, Vanguard (the current manufacturer) lists dealers
in your state including ones in Sarasota, and Clearwater, on this web page:

Pre-'95 Sunfish can be really great boats. I have a '79 in mint condition
and like it better than the new design.
OBTW, I'm also a big fan of the gaff-rig Catboat design. Your project sounds
outstanding..... are you building the Whitholz from plans or restoring a
classic? I'm not familiar with that particular boat.
Good Sailing,
Wayne

Hi everybody,
I'm a Dad with a 10 year old daughter in summer camp learning how to
sail this year. I went out and bought a fixer-upper (spent 50 bucks)
pre-95 Sunfish. Needs some work but that's no big deal. I was hoping
somebody could give me some advice on where to buy parts. I've seen
APS racing out of Annapolis, there's got to be more. I build boats
for a living if anybody has any questions about repair work I'd be
glad to help out all I can.
We plan on sailing on the lakes in Central Florida and the West Coast
of Florida
Thanks,
Jeff
