Re: Winter storage of sunfish in garage
Yeah, if you try to put the lag bolt in vertically you could be asking for a problem. Put that off season ratchet block to work and you won't have a problem at all. I wouldn't bother with all the

Re: Project boat
It's a Super Sunfish. Parts are hard to come by. You can put a standard rig in it if you like. All Sunfish parts will fit it. Super Sunfish parts were all additions to a standard Sunfish (traveler

Re: Winter storage of sunfish in garage
How about just drill holes in the joists where you need them, pass a line (old sheet, etc) through them and under boat, do everything with line. I like simple solutions, no wood to cut, nail/screw,

Project boat
I recently "acquired" a sunfish which I plan on restoring over the winter. I have been doing some searching trying to locate parts and such, but am having a problem identifying the model of this

Winter storage of sunfish in garage
Apologies to all if this is an old one. I was given an aged sunfish and I'd like to move it indoors over the winter while I restore it. I'd like to be able to hoist it above my carspace in the

Re: Sunfish sails
Occasionally there is a regatta for boats with "standard" rigs, but mostly I've seen only 1-5 boats turn out for that group. By far the majority of regattas have everybody together in one big happy

Sunfish sails
I was just wondering... A standard Sunfish sail is "class legal" to race with. So if you buy a "race sail" with more area and better performance, do you not race in the same class as the guys with

Re: first sail
Greetings John, You probably want to visit the sunfish class website at http://www.sunfishclass.org for lots of information about sunfish. Getting the Sunfish Bible is a good second thing to do,

Re: bridle / mainsheet
John, If you are sailing recreationally only, just use a piece of line about the same length as your old bridle. There is no need for a block - just tie the end of the mainsheet around the bridle

Telltail on Boom ?
Was out sailing today, I have a ribbon tied to the boom about 18" aft from the gooseneck. Using it as a telltale instead of doing the coathanger-off-the-yard doo-hickey thing. Sure is in a

Re: Sunfish bridle traveler question
YEP!! The Sunfish does not pinch!! It will sail fairly close to the wind, but few are successful when worrying about pulling the sail all the way to center. Only really pays off in extremely light
