Summer Sailstice...I'm just saying....
The original Sunfish came with a tiny daggerboard and elephant ear rudder, also a cloth sail. Today Zip is going to use a race cut Schurr Sail, Barrington daggerboard and 3rd generation rudder blade.
Heading out on Zip, our 1953 wooden Sunfish, hull number 13.
Trying to catch Zip on Madison, our photo ship.
Alcort envisioned that the boat would be launched with the rudder up, then swung down into latch plate once in the water.
Zip shipped a little water over the bow, and it ran into the cockpit.
Pumping the bilge.
Zip goes speeding by again.
