Seems we have new Class rules effective 1/1/21 but still pending World Sailing approval. No problemski here, except new rule C.6.1 setting a minimum hull wt. of 121 lbs. This could ?? open a controversial "can of worms". Many yrs. ago, there were 2 NE events where weigh-ins were attempted: 1}...
The problem is with a Force 5 pin, but about same as a Sunfish--I have tried soaking in penetrating oil/heat/banging on it--but still NG. I don't want to break the aluminum--any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks Odie 27777
Also posted on Yahoo Sunfish sailor group--Sunfish masts do break; new masts are expensive (~$175); good luck trying to buy a new one-I gave up this last summer, 6 mo. thru dealer and no mast; Jens rigs can be complex and intiminating to the uninitiated; current Rule Measurement Diagram shows...

Dust off those old plaques/bowls/"bowling trophies" in the attic and re-cycle for use at growing junior fleet @Leetes Island, Guilford, Ct. Also, need old wooden boards/tillers/rudders for aging fleet of Sunfish. Mail to Paul Odegaard, 60 Rockledge Circle, Guilford, Ct. 06437 or see me at a...
Last w/e, I finally got a chance to race in 20-25 mph winds with a #2 reef in a racing sail. The reef is easy to rig on the water and the boat is very manageable in a blow. I run a long uphaul to the head of the sail down through the tack and tie off the bitter end (after a purchase) at the...
Pls. send digital photos of Sunfish (or Sunfsh, etc.) vanity licence plates to Odie at: [email protected]
Eventually, I will send a composite into the "Leg" for publication. The goal is to reach all 50 states--good publicity for the Class!
