Sunfish

Description

The Sunfish sailboat is a popular personal-size, beach-launched dinghy designed for simplicity and accessibility. Design: It features a flat, board like hull and a lateen sail mounted on an un-stayed mast, making it easy to learn sailing. History: Developed by Alcort, Inc. in 1952, the Sunfish has evolved from its predecessor, the Sailfish, with improvements like a wider beam for stability and a foot-well for comfort.

Custom sail calculations are not possible for this boat as no I, J, P and E dimensions are available.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
