Oops, Diagrams with dimensions are already available on the net. They are part of the ISCA Rules posted at the ISCA web site. So, let me take my big foot out of my mouth. Copies have been posted

Hi Wayne, Bravo! Bravo! I've just gained new respect for cats.

That is a lot of information. All of it useful. Thank you very much for the insight. Adi <turluck@c...> wrote: racing, then I have The won't summer, other sailing Sunfish bought I make a boat

I would like to invite everyone to visit the DATABASE section of the Group Web Page http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sunfish_sailor and add your favorite sailing spot to the HOME PORT

Mike, Strike that first response > OBTW the answer to your original question/subject line is: 1971 It should probably be 1987 for the "new" hull design. Here's a partial list of the changes I am

Hmmmmmm...., I wonder how much of a fuss Vanguard would make over "sketches" if some were to just appear on the Net. Can you digest any of the following: DXF, IGS, SolidWorks, ProE, CAD-Key I

Yup - and he's still at it

Aahh, the humor of one Bill Mattson. That heat seeking missile story had me absolutely rolling on the floor the first time I read it! Hilarious. John

I hope to buy new hardware and make the actual rudder and dagger board out of UHMW (plastic). Once I get the smaller parts (such as the gudgeon bracket) I think I can use the actual measurements to

Hi Ed, I'm a trailer jockey too..... I jockey the trailer right into a parking spot, slide the Fish onto a dolly I call my "silent partner", and stroll to the grass or beach at water's edge. I rig up

Being a trailer jockey I have found that I can leave my "Fish-clone" fully secured on the trailer and rig while on land. Here is my process: 1. Stop just before entering the launch area. 2. install

Howard, IMHO, it's still a whole lot easier to raise sail and check that all is ready to go while on a beach, but I'm glad to hear that someone is thinking of us small boat sailors anyway. I put

At Hueston Woods (OH), the docks work very well for small boats, so well that only rarely do you see anyone using the dinghy beach for launching - even though the beach is only a matter of a hundred

I fully agree that launching a Sunfish at a ramp is 100% where you don't want to be. Very occasionally the docks at them are constructed to be protective to all boats, but that is rare. Anyone would

Wayne, Yes, I've followed thebeachcat group for a few years now. I love sailing cats but the set up and launch are the pits. When you sail mostly lakes and rivers it can be a real hassle to get out

John, I have a cam cleat mounted on the vertical portion of the cockpit lip where the old hook once was. I use it on calm days or when I'm daring. It requires leaning inboard which is a deterrent to

Yes, but after further consideration the hexaratchet is probably the way to go. I'm used to larger boats where no cleat would wear you out after a little while. When it's howlin', I keep my Hobie 18

Charles, I had my boat pinned under a dock by the wake of a big $*&%#@ motorboat. Docks are just the last place you want to launch a beach boat from. I know there isn't always an option. I will

I chipped some gelcoat once when the boat banged against some hardware on the dock. Any ideas on a makeshift fender for a Sunfish? The fenders in marine stores seem too big, and I don't feel like
