Just $1,400 for a beaten-up hull. No sail, no rudder, no centerboard, no spars, no bridle, etc. 1990's Racing Sunfish Fiberglass Sailboat Sail Boat | eBay

This article has a link to the video. Several Sunfish are in the warehouse in the video. The video should start at the 27:30 mark or so to see the LP segment. The Sheriffs Are Coming to LaserPerformance >> Scuttlebutt Sailing News

If you go to the US Sunfish Class group on Facebook you can see videos from each race on Monday and live racing updates today. It is windy in Tampa so you can see how the good sailors sail in the conditions.

I just realized this. The rolled edge boat was introduced in ‘87 (I had thought it was ‘89, but this source always had the facts right http://www.sunfishklasse.nl/documenten/Sunfish%20Timeline.pdf). So the metal edge boats were made from ‘60 to ‘87 or so, and rolled edge boats for the 33 years...

It doesn’t say this is run by LP, but it looks like what they tried to do with Sunfish. And the only approved builder is LP. www.thelaserclass.com

The topic on LP parts mentioned these two dealers who both still have class approved Rec sails for $250 Sunfish Sails & Sail Rings | Sunfish Parts & Accessories at West Coast Sailing Sunfish Sails

For some reason, APS is transitioning from a boat part company to an apparel company. Everything except apparel is about 25 percent off. So a class approved Rec sail is now $187 for example. Buy now!! Sunfish Sailboat Race Sails, Recreational Sails and Sail Rings | APS

This sail sold on eBay earlier this month. I vaguely remember when this color was available around 1990 or so. If you zoom in you can see the class approved sticker. Sunfish is written in a white script towards the top of the sail.

Announcement Regarding ILCA Approved Builders – International Laser Class Association

The Laser Performance website has Sunfish sails available for $250. Seems like a good deal for an "official" North sail. But racing sails are $535.50 !! What makes them worth 2x as much as a colored sail????? Is the sail window made of some exotic plastic?????? And when you are charging...

The scores say they have sailed the races 1,2,4 and 5. Wonder when they will sail race 3? http://www.regattanetwork.com/clubmgmt/applet_regatta_results.php?regatta_id=9364

A while back this question was discussed at length here http://sailingforums.com/threads/a-theological-question-regarding-sunfish-rigging.30686/ Given the long-standing placement of the sail on the port side of the mast, I was recently shocked, I repeat shocked, when I visited the LP website...

Always enjoy seeing him enjoying our favorite boat. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2386194/Paul-McCartney-sets-sail-child-sized-dinghy-Hamptons.html#ixzz2bOz2syH3

This is a link to the Sunfish class Midwest US schedule, but you will see on June 1 there is a regatta with both Sunfish and the Torch invited. http://sunfishclass.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/2013-MIDWEST-REGION-SCHEDULE-2013_0412.pdf They may have jumped the gun a bit since I don't think...

I went to the new LP shop, and took a look at Lasers. As you can see at this link (scroll down) it says that Lasers are made in the UK - note that this link is to the North American LP store....Did they just cut and paste the wrong picture, or is this correct...

A very interesting knockoff Sunfish sail for sail on eBay. Per the description it has "Hydraulically operated eyelets and corner reinforcement." Almost seems worth buying to check out these new-technology eyelets!! Here is the link...

As most racers know, the Jens rig was popularized by Jens Hookanson, and the rig has been known as the "Jens" or "Hookanson" rig. Then Greg Gust came up with an almost instant Hookanson Rig known as the Gust Adjust. It turns out that there already was a merger of Gust and Hookanson, as this...

Did anyone on this board attend either of those regattas? If so, could you please ;)post a writeup of what the winds were like, etc.? There has been almost no info except for what the results were. BB

We have successfully managed to avoid letting any news of the Midwinters get out to anyone. Congratulations to all!! BB

David Loring is briefly interviewed in Gary Jobson's column, and there is a big picture of several Sunfish in a US Sailing ad. Very Nice!!! BB
