Windward Leg, newsletter of the International Sunfish Class Association


We joined the US Sunfish Class Association and got our numbers yesterday, Skipper is 81151 and I am 81152. Also got the latest issue of the International Sunfish Class Association Newsletter "Windward Leg." This issue covers the last 3 years of World, National and Youth championships. There are also some other good tips in there on rule changes, a manufacturer update, daggerboard stopper reinforcement and a survey to guide the future of the Sunfish Class. Next issue we are writing an article on daggerboard leak repair.
If you haven't signed up yet, check out the Class at our new website: http://www.sunfishclass.org/

WIndward Leg: Dear Howie Repair Column


Howie Picard worked at AMF for 18 years before going out on his own to do
warranty work for them. Windward Leg carried a maintenance tip column from him
for a while, focus was AMF boats and sailboat maintenance. He did hundreds of Sunfish
foam replacements and rudder conversions! Howie sent me a copy the first article
that appeared in the magazine. (1983 Windward Led issue no. 15 summer addition)
