Frosty Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 It sure looks smaller than I thought. Did it shrink? All that sail makes me think she's FAST, how's she handle? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me like it time to enjoy the fruits of your past shop time for a while first. Enjoy, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chenier Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 Frosty, in the pic the hull is angled away from the camera a bit, making it look shorter. The hull is essentially the same length as the boom - which is square to the camera. There was a light breeze for the sea trial and she scooted right along. Manouverability was great. I'm giving it a thumbs up! And I'm grateful there wasn't a heavy breeze. It wasn't warm enough for me to need a swim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I just now found this thread - GREAT job on that Sunfish, and even got the fish on the sail:) I'm an old boat bum myself, lived aboard 25+ years and raise the family on a 40 ft sailboat. I'm impressed (beyond impressed!) with your woodwork, and the hardware built from scratch. Isn't retirement great having time to do those "fun" things? My only gripe about retirement is the aches 'n pains of old age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Aches & Pains of old age just indicate that we actually *did* stuff when we were younger and survived it to get older! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Boats always look smaller in the water don't they? Well said Thomas. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
