Re: Best places to sell Sunfish (besides eBay)?
From watching the regular sunfish market, I'd say the "sell it" price is $700-1000 with the trailer. Or if you'd rather, a "put it on the market and see if someone rich comes along" price would be

What part of Florida are you in? I'm in Florida also, it is hard to find a beach to play on as they are covered with condos, I remember when beach was public property I sailed a sunfish anywhere, now

Re: Best places to sell Sunfish (besides eBay)?
thanks for advice. i did search for similar small sailboats. again only found 2 boats in last 2 years. this is Florida. i guess everyone has/wants large boats. mine is in fairly good shape. no cracks

Re: Best places to sell Sunfish (besides eBay)?
I would compare prices to other locally advertised small sailboats of any brand/type. I doubt that many people are specifically searching for a Minifish. FWIW I bought my Minifish a couple of years

Re: Best places to sell Sunfish (besides eBay)?
I would say what ever you can get it for, if you find one, sort of like putting a price on a 57 Chevy 2 door if you could find one. Sent from my Verizon Motorola Droid

Re: Should I DIY a homemade rudder blade?
Here is Austin we have a fine lumber yard that you can get it for not too much money. I would suggest calling lumber yards that have lumber for woodworkers rather than Lowes or home depot.

Re: Should I DIY a homemade rudder blade?
You can always use what I call "Chesapeake teak," or pressure treated yellow pine. It won't last like mahogany, but it'll get you sailing. Broken daggerboards are a useful source of rudder stock,

Re: Should I DIY a homemade rudder blade?
That is dandy, if you can *find* an affordable piece of mahogany in the required size. I spent weeks trolling not only big box stores but individual lumber suppliers and prices I got quoted sometimes

Re: Should I DIY a homemade rudder blade?
I suggest making one out of mahogany. I have 2 15 year old scouts recently make one and it was an enjoyable process. Steps: mill the mahogany to 3/4" thickness, you might be be able to find it

Re: How to remove sail ring clips

Re: How to remove sail ring clips
Nice tip. You can also take those needle nose and grab the end of the tab with the long edge of the pliers, then roll the tab back over the button. Sometimes the tab breaks, but usually new tabs are

You can get all the new rings for about 20$ at Intensity Sails Sent from my Verizon Motorola Droid

Re: How to remove sail ring clips
Thanks for the ?video. Wished I'd seen it five months ago before removing the sail from my minifish. On a positive note- I only broke two rings.

How to remove sail ring clips
I received a new sail for my Minifish yesterday. Spent a good 20 minutes fiddling with different methods of removing the (30 year old?) sail ring clips trying not to destroy them. Here's the most
