boom blocks - optimal location
I'm getting ready to replace my boom blocks and bails with the ones

Re: Leaving the sunfish in water all season?
Oops, forgot to say--NEVER leave your boat in the water "all season."

Re: Leaving the sunfish in water all season?

Lots of people build simple racks which they leave in the water (poles,

You can set the verticals down into the

Re: Leaving the sunfish in water all season?
Hi Jud,
Here's a thought....
Build a low cradle near the waterline that has padded (ramping) rails. Add a
simple crank type winch. Pull the boat close and winch it onto the cradle.

Leaving the sunfish in water all season?
Hello all,
We've moved to lake front property and had planned to leave the
sunfish in the water for the summer. The posts regarding the amount

Re: Mast & Spar size
John,
I get these dimensions off my '79 Fish:
Mast 2.25"
Spars 1.50"
At this point I can only guess that the wall thickness is around .065" and
