RESTORING TWO SUNFISH


Aaah the Sunfish... one of the simplest and most popular designs of sailboats, beloved to thousands.
This is the story of two Sunfish, and their journey from neglected  to "better than new."




SUNFISH ON A BEACH SOMEWHERE



    I'm not really sure who owned the Sunfish first, but they were purchased by my friend's wife for him while he was deployed to Diego Garcia during the war in Afghanistan. She bought them from the recreation department at Mountain Home AFB in Idaho, for a very small sum. For now we will call them "Boat 1" and "Boat 2."

    This journal will chronicle their restoration over the next couple of months.
