20 million people can't be wrong. The Sunfish is the most popular daysailer in the world both then and now HANDS DOWN!.. A Laser might be quicker, but that's being used in the one man "hot-boat" mode.
no...just NO. sunfish...to tell the truth..This is like buying a 50 year old boat...its a good boat...if it was 1950. these days we have much funner and better boats. Hobies. Lasers. 49ers. 29ers. SB3s ect
I live in Charleston. There is no Hobie fleet, no 49er fleet, no SB3. We have Lasers, but at 5'7, 165 #'s, I'm not the right body type. I am also 35, married with two small children. I need good local competition (David Loring lives here, so do Alan Uram and Seth Siegler, - they race Sunfish, as does the CofC Sailing Team's coach) locally, and costs less than four thousand new with a new sail costing @ 400 bucks. Please suggest another boat that works within the parameters of my reality.

Sunfish are classics. No doubt! I have a Sunfish and a Laser, and while a Laser is great sometimes, the ease and fun of the Sunfish trumps it.

I wonder if this video made more people want to sail Sunfish, or fewer???
