The Sunfish Owner's Manual is a one stop resource for the world's most popular sailboat. Inside there are chapters on the History of the Sunfish, and illustrated chapters on how to Buy, Rig, Sail, Maintain, Restore, Store, Transport and Sell the Sunfish. The Restore Chapter includes Do It Yourself pictures and step by step details on how to conduct common repairs, including flotation foam replacements and rudder conversions. The Manual has an extensive Illustrated Glossary of Sunfish and sailing terms, with 230 photos by the author, taken in the course of numerous Sunfish restorations, for both wooden and fiberglass Sunfish as well as Sailfish. Included are weblinks to top Sunfish information sites, part suppliers and social network sites. There are also links to extended web content located on the author's youtube channel and over 1300 Picasa Web images. The Manual is not only a one stop reference for any Sunfish owner, it would be of interest to owners of other small sailboats as well.
The most entertaining chapter is the Illustrated Glossary, it includes all the nautical and Sunfish terms you need to know.

Hi, do you know if a wooden Sunfish mast would fit into an early 60s fiberglass Sailfish mast step? I'm interested in a conversion while I decide if I want to build a wooden Sunfish from plans.
ReplyDeleteHi, yes if they are original ALCORT parts then they have the same diameter and are interchangeable. Your fiberglass Sailfish is called a Super Sailfish MKII and it uses the same size mast as the wooden Sunfish. FYI I don't know of any plans for a wooden Sunfish.
