I recently purchased a sunfish and am excited to get it in the
water. There are a couple of parts that need some help. Especially
the rudder and daggerboard. I have found some parts from a Sailfish
that I can have, but will they be the same size? They look about the
same from the pictures...
I had a wooden Sailfish which was made in the 1960s. It had a distinctive
rudder - it had a bulbous shape, significantly different than the Sunfish -
and a daggerboard which was noticeably smaller than the Sunfish.
I think by 1980, when Alcort was still making a few (very few) Sailfish,
that they had changed the parts to be identical to those they were supplying
on the Sunfish.
