Sunfish Bits

14 Jun 18:

We picked up a few Sunfish bits, one bit was a vintage mainsheet with the bronze clip on the end. The line and the clip is really nice, but the lines measure around 22 feet, with 25 feet being an optimum length. For our low speed recreational sailing 22 feet is plenty.


The other bit was a bow handle designed for the wooden Alcort boats. The bow handle was made by Wilcox and Crittenden, Alcort's hometown hardware makers. The handle is chrome plated bronze and has the WC mark on the side. The tab on the front was for the wooden Sailfish and Sunfish, it covered the stem and another piece of aluminum quarter round flows down along the stem and keel for 18 inches.
