Running Out Of Sail Time

I managed to get out again on the Sunfish last weekend. Great weather, but the temperature is steadily declining. I am kind of sad that the season is coming to an end.  I am trying to squeeze in as much sailing as possible, before the weather gets too cold (I am not a dry suit guy any more - too old now). One thing I definitely need to practice is my back up skills at the boat ramp. I received a few comments about taking too long, and I vow to practice on my street until I get better! If I find any great related videos, I will post them.

Summer of Sailing

I took the boat out again last weekend. Great conditions, and a great sunny day on the water. The new rudder works wonders for the boat. It points much better, and turns on a dime. I highly recommend getting this update, if you have an older rudder. Will try to get some shots of the boat on the water this weekend.

Sunfish FRP Rudder Blade


It's been a long time since I posted. My birthday just past, and one of the items I asked for was a new Sunfish FRP Rudder blade from Intensity Sails. My previous rudder had a significant warp to it, and since the price was right for the Intensity blade, I pulled the trigger on the purchase. It was a great B-Day present! See attached photos. I think it really updates this old boat.
