New Fish

Hi everybody,
I'm a Dad with a 10 year old daughter in summer camp learning how to
sail this year. I went out and bought a fixer-upper (spent 50 bucks)
pre-95 Sunfish. Needs some work but that's no big deal. I was hoping
somebody could give me some advice on where to buy parts. I've seen
APS racing out of Annapolis, there's got to be more. I build boats
for a living if anybody has any questions about repair work I'd be
glad to help out all I can.

We plan on sailing on the lakes in Central Florida and the West Coast
of Florida

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi!
You guys will have a blast with the Sunfish I bet.
There are several places in Florida that stock Sunfish
parts including the Tackle Shack. You could check
www.sunfishclass.org and look at the links section, or
check the Vanguard website (also linked at the Sunfish
class page) and use the "dealer locater" function on
their website.
Happy Hunting!

Hello Jeff,

There are a couple of links you may find useful in the bookmark section of
this group. You may also find the inner hull pictures in the files section
helpful in your fix-up efforts.

To save you a little time, Vanguard (the current manufacturer) lists dealers
in your state including ones in Sarasota, and Clearwater, on this web page:


FL%5EUnited+States&submit=Go%21


Pre-'95 Sunfish can be really great boats. I have a '79 in mint condition
and like it better than the new design.


OBTW, I'm also a big fan of the gaff-rig Catboat design. Your project sounds
outstanding..... are you building the Whitholz from plans or restoring a
classic? I'm not familiar with that particular boat.


Good Sailing,

Wayne
