    Hello Again Everyone. Since the replies on this forum seem timely and knowledgeable, I will continue to badger you guys with questions. I'm looking into buying a wetsuit for sailing. Here in New York, the weather is never sailing friendly, and I'm always hypothermia prone (Especially after a...

    Success Leads to More Desire

    A few Questions

    Okay, I have a 1973 (I think) Sunfish Sailboat, and I have a few questions. 1. The color on the hull is red on the top, and yellow on the bottom. I have seen yellow on top, and red on the bottom of the hull, but no boat with the same color scheme as mine. Does anyone know the story behind this...
