Signal Charlie All Messages By This Member #17968 Hi Gail, Kent and Audrey here. We became Owner/Admin over a decade ago when Keith turned the yahoo Group over to us. He had been maintaining it since Wayne crossed the bar.? A few years back when yahoo shut down we paid to have everything transferred over to groups.io. It costs about $200 a year to keep it open, that's where some of the proceeds go from sales of The Sunfish Owners Manual. We'll happily keep paying for it as long as we groups.io exists.? Most folks seem to like the interface on The Sunfish Forum and nowadays facebook. But as I have found, nothing is permanent. We downloaded all of the photos from the files, but it would be a task to archive all of the messages. The Sunfish Forum and Bradley have ported over some of the more referenced files. If you have ideas on how to preserve this digital resource, we're all ears. And Gail, thank you for all of the work you do to share info about the World's greatest sailboat!!!!!!!! Huzzah! Cheers,?

Signal Charlie All Messages By This Member #17970 Ahoy Capn Penn, Where are you located? We are in Smithfield, VA, just got here in?2021 and are still trying to understand what "Seasons"?are. Retirement from air line flying comes from me in 2025. Then Skipper will have to find something for me to do, if I follow her around too much she'll kill me...after she tortures me a bit, the little pirate. And 3 posts today on SunfishSailor? Let's get the band back together :)?

Signal Charlie All Messages By This Member #17975 Welcome Diana and thanks for what you are doing. There's a good group here to offer advice, find parts, etc... And 10 posts this month?! Y'all calm down out there! -- Cheers Clark and Skipper Our blog Our book?
DIANA WEIDENBACKER All Messages By This Member #17976 Thanks for the support. I actually started out just looking for no longer loved Fish in hopes to rehab them - those that I could at least given limited resources, etc. All of a sudden, there were wonderful donations; many were beyond what we could do (no garage, no electricity, etc. However, we now have 10 that are almost all ready to go. They will augment the UNH Community Sailing Centre program and then be used for the Women's Fish group - The Salty Sirens. ? As I was soliciting donations, women saw my posts, emails, etc. and the next thing I knew, 45 were interested. The core group is closer to 15, but that, too, is awesome. We plan on a winter mtg just toorganize a Fish Adventure Day on our small lake, some on the water Fish Mini Golf, some lessons, some racing, some boat work and more I hope. ? One woman became so enamoured she bought a used Fish for herself. Diana Weidenbacker Head Coach University of New Hampshire Sailing Team M.S.S.T.

suleboats All Messages By This Member #17980 I’ll add to the chorus with post #11.? Hey folks, DC/MD area Sunfish sailor here. Kent was my inspiration for wooden Alcorts - we have a ‘65 Sunfish and a ~’58 Sailfish, plus a couple of 60s glass Sailfish. Love these boats; they’re the highlight of every beach we take them to along Chesapeake Bay. I do need a newer Sunfish to keep the old boats in decent shape, since we sail a few times a week. If you have old parts or a woody in the area, let me know since you can never have too much Alcort stuff. I’m keeping Kent from hoarding all the old goodies - he’s so neat and organized and adding junk would be a shame.? The forums have been a tremendous resource for me. Thanks everybody.?

Signal Charlie All Messages By This Member #17981 Hola Amigo, Where are your stomping grounds? And what makes you think I'm the hoarder, Skipper plays no role in this? :)?

Signal Charlie All Messages By This Member #17982 Diana, fantastic. We've restored about 70 boats, with 1/3 of them being Fish. Folks like to donate to those doing good for the boats. We got our 1953 wooden Sunfish that way and just received a gift of an Abaco dinghy. As for women, I'd say just about every boat we sold had a woman as the driving force behind the purchase, or was the buyer. My favorite was when Grandma sent Grandpa over to look at a boat for the grandkid. He pulled out a wad of 100 dollar?bills and sheepishly offered $100 below the asking price. Audrey said "I'll take the other $100 in the other pocket too." We laughed and he drove off with the boat. You have the group here for support. We also have a blog and youtube channel, where you can search for tips on tools, materials and tactics to get boat back to their natural habitat. And on Amazon, The Sunfish Owners Manual, a-Z what folks need to find their boat and take care of it: Of course all questions can be answered here.? A few more things. We can get Dynamic Dollies with free shipping to anyone?who wants one, it's a must for us to have one. For big programs wanting 10 or more dollies we can get deeper discounts. And we have an Ambassador code with TotalBoat for their products, all of which we use, for 5% off. Anyone is welcome to use it:? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Tue, Jan 16, 2024 at 9:54?PM Signal Charlie via <lewis.kent=[email protected]> wrote: Hola Amigo, Where are your stomping grounds?

DIANA WEIDENBACKER All Messages By This Member #17983 开云体育 Thanks Kent. Although I love the Dynamic Dollie’s they are too rich for my blood. I found a much cheaper one on Amazon and although not perfect and a bit heavier than the Dynamic it’s stellar.? Unfortunately, there is no budget nor pool of money. I wrangle spare parts from any boat I can to cobble stuff together and throw in a few coins when I need to.? I’ll keep the Dynamic suggestion in mind however. Thanks again.? Oh I also fly spinnakers (my junior sailors that is) from the fish on occasion for fun.? Diana Diana Weidenbacker Head Sailing Coach University of New Hampshire M.S.S.T.

Signal Charlie All Messages By This Member #17984 Sometimes the State Wildlife resources folks have $$ grants for educational?programs that get people, especially students, outside fishing, hunting, boating, etc...There is a lot of tie in with STEM and Leadership development. And DEI initiatives come into play. Here in VIrginia we have such programs, monies used to purchase kayaks and canoes. If UNH is a State UNI then it might be even easier, as the boats become State Property. k toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Tue, Jan 16, 2024 at 10:47?PM DIANA WEIDENBACKER <dianaw46@...> wrote: Thanks Kent.
