Where to go for parts!


 

We rescued an old sunfish that was lost in a garage for years and we are now bringing it back to life!? Preliminary inventory shows that an inspection port on the rear deck between the tiller and cockpit is missing its cover and the daggerboard is missing its clip.? That's all I see for now.? But where can I go to get replacements?? Unsure about the integrity of the sail and ropes, will be checking those out later this week.

Any help is much appreciated!


 



Annapolis Performance Sailing has a good selection of ports, or West Marine


 

I have found that a lot of places the last few years have had trouble stocking parts. The only place I have had consistent luck with parts is sunfishdirect.com?

It's a shame we have lost so many competent dealers over the years due to the dysfunction with the current manufacturer.

A prominent stocking dealer, with a lot of knowledge (owned by active Sunfish sailors/racers) is:

?

The Dinghy Shop in Amityville, New York.

Do you sell the little wooden bits that go at the top of the daggerboard? With the cutouts for your fingers to grab? I need four of those is you make them.

Exactly, the wooden daggerboards have two wooden pieces at the top, one on each side. They are the same no matter the shape of the board.?

I think if there was more interest in dinghy sailing, there would be more parts and more dealers and a robust manufacturer. I am amazed there is a new parts source at all.?
