Injecting two part epoxy (WEST is my favorite) into any cracks, clamping and curing, then doing the threaded rod makes a Sunfish rudder, even after damage, nearly bulletproof!! Then sand and coat

I build my rudder and centerboard for my self made sunfish clone using 3/4" and 1/4" marine ply epoxied together. The tiller is made out of white oak. I bought standard rudder hardware from

Very cool. And far more reality-minded in scale than the guys who tried to use undersized bolts, similarly epoxy-set but only maybe one foot long, to hold up the massive concrete suspended-ceiling

Nice technique for a heavy-duty gluing dowel! Now that you mention it, I’ve even used a similar trick to anchor a lag screw into stone. With one additional dodge that let me tighten it afterwards.

Pretty much every one of the 20+ Sunfish we have sold went through Craigslist. I had good luck with facebook marketplace recently with lawnmowers and generators, minimal spammers for sailboats. I

One other suggestion: you might see if you can donate the boats. Possible candidates would be a local scout troop for merit badge work, local kid's summer camp, high school shop class (to teach

I made a new rudder for my sunfish from an old mahogany damaged center board I had laying around. It came out great. Got to use some of my old woodworking tools I had not used in years. Took about
