Looking for manual for a Sunfish Laser Built Day Sailer

Postby SeawaySurf » Mon May 09, 2022 3:56 pm

Recently bough a '95 Day Sailer built by Sunfish Laser. Trying to get a better understanding of the boat and looking for any info, manuals on the same.

Wow, I didn't know Sunfish-Laser is/was the same company, let alone that they built DaySailers. Anyway, the rough details on the Daysailers haven't changed since 1958, with the exception of the Centerboard (handle in older boats, pulley in newer boats). Peruse the manuals section of daysailer.org and you should be able to figure out your boat: https://www.daysailer.org/Manuals.

Fair Winds!

P.S. I digress, but my usual crew when I sail my local lake is a long-time Sunfish sailor. Whenever we see a Sunfish on the water, he turns to me and says "Thank gawd, there's a Sunfish come out to save us!" Shows how much he trusts my skippering. ;-)

What are you mostly concerned about finding out in a manual? We can probably answer most of those questions here in more detail than you'd get in any manufacturer's documentation.

Also, it would be interesting to know about your background as in sailing experience.
