Sunfish Innards

15 Aug 18:

Here's a look at the repairs inside the 1978 AMF Sunfish SUGAR 2. We put in a new cypress backer block for the halyard cleat, repaired resin chips in the mast tube with TotalBoat THIXO and put in a new bow handle backer block.

Here's a look at the daggerboard trunk, common damage there is to the bottom edge where the daggerboard smashes into the trunk when an obstacle is hit, the seam opens up or worse the fiberglass is crushed. There are also vertical fissures that open up in the fore and aft sections of the trunk. Those can be repaired from the outer surface sometimes, other times it is best to access the trunk from inside the hull.
