I picked up a 76 Sunfish today and the hull is a light blue, at first, I thought it was painted but the owner said it was original gel coat. The hull is waterlogged, not sure of the weight but by the look on my wife's face it was heavy, me, I pick thing up and put them down! It had a lot of dark...

Well picking up a Ghost 13 tomorrow, hard to find much about these boats, a guy named Spike Selig seemed to love them and wrote some cool stuff about them. It was pretty cheap and needs a lot of work but that's the part I like, almost as much as sailing them. Anybody has any useful info on them...

So, I saw an ad for a Capri 13 with a really nice trailer and two sets of sails for$150, I was mildly interested in the boat, but the trailer was mint and took a spin out to central Ma. Mast step repair is an understatement more like mast replacement, it was detached from the deck and wobbled...

I picked up an older sunfish today at a Boy Scout camp in New Hartford Conn. possibly from the late 60's the plate with the hull # on the deck was removed but it looks exactly like the "66" that I have. They gave me five old style rudder tiller set ups and one had a hardware set up I've never...

Well, I picked up a Phantom yesterday. It was for sale on Marketplace for $650 for most of the winter with no offers and I picked her up yesterday for $250. It has a decent, still crisp Sunfish sail and a Sunfish gudgeon with a nice Sunfish rudder and tiller setup on her. Loading the boat on my...

Looks like I just bought a Windflight. The pics look good, a company called JDog, veteran owned, that does clean outs among other things picked it up. They say it's been in storage for years and as far as I know right now is it's missing the rudder and tiller assembly; I didn't see the...

Just picked up what I believe is a 1966 Sunfish from a young lad in the Western Ma Hilltown's. The boat appears to be in excellent condition, the hull has a coat of white paint on it, but the deck appears to be original but faded. I'm guessing it was red but now is sort of plum color. No stress...

Looking at the Catfish catamaran made in mid 60's think it might be an interesting restoration. I can't get much info from the owner as he inherited with the purchase of a lake cottage and wants it gone. I think I'm the only one that has showed interest in it so far. Anyone with any comments pro...

I've been in contact with a guy that has a Sailfish for sale on the boats listing on western Ma craigslist for $400, was wondering if anyone has any comments on a Sailfish good or bad. I really don't need the boat, but it looks to be in great condition and with a portsmouth handicap rating of...

I found a Flying Fish for sale on western mass craigslist for $375, looks interesting. It has a different mast and sail on it, the owner says it's a two piece mast, not sure from what boat. I haven't looked at her yet but was wondering what thoughts some of you sailors of varied experience might...

Just came across a sailfish on craigslist for $120 with a new sail, I can see in the picture the rudder and dagger board on top of the hull. I have text with the owner and he said the hull is waterlogged and heavy and will talk to him later today. What do you guys think, worth while project, I...

Just got a new addition to my fleet, a 1977 MFG copperhead. The boats in decent shape with a nice trailer underneath with bearing buddies and a new light kit,$300. Way cheaper than the local sunfish prices which are in the thousands for forty year old boats. The problem with most MFG sailboats...

So my club had a silent auction and I won the bid on a laser. A older member said it was a special hull as it was one of the first lasers built, not too sure about that, but there's no hull number anywhere on this boat. There's what looks like a sticker on the back side of the tub that says, I...
