Re: Rudder and tiller help
fnhspartan,
Take a look in the FILES area for a new tiller diagram.
I believe the third hole you are looking at is actually the post for
the kick-up spring.

Re: Rudder and tiller help
Hi John,
How's the boat now that you've been sailing with the proper rudder?
Getting any teaching time in on the Sunfish or just sailing the Hobie?
You've been awful quite since you got your new

Re: Supersunfish Season 2003
Hi Blent,
Sounds like you had a great holiday.
For teaching youngsters I have rigged my boat with a becket block in the
outer position. This allows one extra wrap in the mainsheet and reduces

Sorry 'bout the Spam. Too bad the mosquito spray doesn't work on these

Rudder and tiller help
I'm making some parts for my Sunfish's maiden voyage and could use

Anybody got the dimensions of a simple tiller and extension? They

Re: id please
Ken,
Well, quite the enigma. Could be an old Sunfish with all the markings gone
and a replacement sail?? I'm not exactly in the neighborhood so it would be
a bit of a trek for me to look-see.

Re: id please
Hi Wayne,
there are no id tags on it, but it looks identical to the sunfish next to it, if the sail didn't have the big M on it, I'd have gone on thinking it was a sunfish.
sorry no pictures,

Re: Pitch for an inexpensive Tell-Tail
Hi Gail ....
Yeh, the lake is pretty neat. It is about 7 miles long and a half-
mile across. Depth is about 90 feet in some places ..... so not much
trouble with the weeds once you are out a bit.

Hey JM,
Just cheap ol' polyester from Hobby Lobby. Lifetime supply for 99 cents.

Re: Pitch for an inexpensive Tell-Tail
Dear JM,
That lake sounds like Sunfish heaven to me! We have a couple of dammed

That tel-tail is about the best idea since sliced bread. A commercial

Pitch for an inexpensive Tell-Tail
If any of you are sailing your Sunfish without a "Tell-Tail" (a wind
indicator), I highly recommend that you try making the one shown on
WINDLINE. It is easy to make .... and works really great! The
