Re: I just got a sunfish and need some help finding parts.
Thanks for the reply. The hull is a '72 model and is in good shape. What parts would be hard to get a hold of? I would think deck hardware is pretty standardized. Other parts I could possibly make in

Hmmmmm...., you've got a project boat there. Any idea what year it is? It may make a difference for finding rudder hardware. Take a look at this diagram from the Vanguard website to figure out what

I recently got a sunfish hull, mast, and boom but will need deck hardware, keel board, rudder/tiller assembly, and a sail. Where is the best place to shop for these items? I'd like to buy used if I

Re: Placement of sail on older Sunfish

Placement of sail on older Sunfish
I have a 1967(?) vintage Sunfish (Alcort Serial # 45799). I am probably the 3rd (or 4th ?) owner, and have never adjusted the height of the sail since I have had it (about 5 years). I SUSPECT that I

Re: Who Car Tops their Sunfish?
Any commercially produced roof rack which mounts securely to a car top will perform very well with a Sunfish. Be sure to tie the hull to the rack very securely, also tie the bow of the boat down to
