Thanks Joshua. We have only had it out once so far in light winds but it sure is stable and fun.

Hey Larry, I see you are in Polk City. My early years were spent sailing a sunfish on Lake Agnes

jalex, We live on the south west end of Mud Lake across from the church. I love to sail Tampa Bay. Where do you sail now?

If you are looking to keep stuff off the tramp, I recommend sewing up a boom bag. If you have a loose footed main, a couple of straps and it is up and out of the way.

Quotejalex, We live on the south west end of Mud Lake across from the church. I love to sail Tampa Bay. Where do you sail now?--

Grew up sailing Tampa Bay, anywhere from prams in the St Pete Yacht Basin to Egmont Key and Anna Maria Island.

In North Florida Big Bend Gulf coast now and don't sail small lakes anymore but what I learned on Lake Agnes on that Sunfish has served me well
