No, boats are made in China with final assembly in Portugal.
I was in 2022 Worlds.
Boats didn't have stickers MADE IN PORTUGAL, but sails had tags with MADE IN PRTUGAL.
I bought the sail as a souvenir. Shape is not good. Just as bad as Bonaire. I had it too.
Boats NO.
Sails YES.
Actually you have to do one thing to make it work. The line entry fairlead. Guess what, I designed and build one that works with Ronstan block like this one...
I have no doubt that Worlds boats will come with dollies only. It will be up to you to get a trailer or cartop it.
I personally don't like to use a trailer for transporting a small boat. First of all most trailers have too firm suspension, and I've seen cracked boats because of that. Also, you...
Zbieraj,
Did you get that Sunfish? If not your best bet is to get one after 2022 Sunfish Worlds in Italy.
You can have mine after I finish racing. If you changed your mind you can still visit Lake Gard and watch races.
I rented an apartment just 6 minutes by foot from Circolo Vela Torbole. You...
One dude in my club painted top of his boat red and complained about paint rubbing off and staining his shorts.
My recommendation was buying red shorts.
If you not going to use gelcoat go with Awlgrip Marine Paint.
Are you absolutely set on buying a Sunfish sailboat? Chinese boats have major quality problems. Did you ever consider Europe dinghy? If one day you are in San Diego CA, please let me know and I will set up a boat for you. I race in the Sunfish Club and you can read about it here: Home - Sunfish...
Czesc zbieraj,
Ja plywam Sunfish., tylko ze ja mieszkam w Kalifornii. Zycze przyjemnego zeglowania.
Napisalem po polsku zeby zrobic troche zameszanie. :-)))
Jak masz do mnie jakies pytania to wyslij PM.
Powodzenia,

This is a good guess.
Sunfish with racing sail (75 square feet) is rated at D-PN 99.6
Super Sunfish (65 square feet) is rated at D-PN 100.7
Not so super I guess :)
It is complicated, but I wanted all controls and all double ended. I could change it all to single and mount it on boom. Dropping traveler and inhaul could be a way to go. It's all for fun and experience.
Here are photos of Super Sunfish rig.
I hate to put a dent on your idea but...
I have Super Sunfish rig and I don't find it that great.
I also rigged Europe dinghy rig on Sunfish and found it to be too much PITA to deal with and very little gain.
Good thing I didn't drill even one hole in the deck and that was not easy.
