Hi @california_dude, I did not -.-. The production line in Portugal is still catching up... If the price would be tempting, I would actually gladly purchase it from you. It would have additional amazing background story (first Sunfish in DK/PL and already one that participated in the Worlds). In...
Small update:
So the retailer told me on Friday that the production line in Portugal is still struggling and since the World Championships are coming, they are now keeping all the new orders on hold and they are focusing on producing now the Sunfish boats for the WC. Therefore I will not be...
I asked the US retailers about the availability of the boats and they said that currently if I would like to order a Sunfish, the earliest I can have one delivered would be around January or February but this is a rough estimation and it can be much later than that...
Small update:
Unfortunately, Laser Performance is having issues with the production line in Portugal and therefore don't know if I can get a new Sunfish before the end of this season...
It is a pity since I wanted to sail on it already with the end of August / at the beginning of September...
Thank you! Yes, self bailer :). I am still in the process of learnig English words for dighy-elements :D. Thank you again! I will just shut the hell up and go through the manual instead of asking stupid questions :D.
I mean 225-300 lbs is not like super heavy (unless you are a short person). For 185 cm + it is kind an overweight but not a serious one. Sunfish can handle up to 550 lbs, so no worries. Actually your weight can also help you with balancing the boat :). And if you will sail often, it should help...
Do current Sunfishes have some kind of system (pressure, valves, like in Zoom class, current Optimist dinghies and other) which is removing water from the cockpit?
Wow, what a class mess...
I just hope that ILCA will not kill the "Lasers" and younger generation sailors will still recognize them as Lasers :). And it is a pity, that the ILCA will not have the laser logo on the sail. It was quite legendary...
I was wondering, how do you secure the edges of the hull when launching the sunfish into the water?
In my case (ahead of Sunfish delivery), in our marina, there is a slope for dinghies which helps with launching. Normally you would go down with the dolly, put your dinghy in the water, join it...
Dear all,
Thank you for the help both here and in private messages. Hereby I present to you the Polish Wikipedia article about Sunfish:
https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunfish_(klasa_jachtu)
I was trying to get those images from that website before, since Google Images was showing it in the thumbnails of full res 6000x4000px, but when clicking on it I have been transfered to EU version of website with nothing about ISCA 2018 WC and no information about any kind of contact to the...
OK, I have VPN'ed the website - Now I have access to all of the pictures in full-res :). Still, I would like to find the author of those pictures. There is nothing in the EXIF data about it :/.
Another update - the chances of getting new Sunfish at the end of July are now actually pretty high! I have also received information from the retailer today (with a copy of the confirmation from the Portgual production line) that the body and most of the other parts from that Sunfish will come...
Hi all!
Sorry in advance for my English, but since weekend I have huge issues with Danish, English and even Polish :D.
So, I decided to add a Polish version of the Sunfish Wikipedia page. Besides translating it, I already added a few interesting things from its history (including the recent...
