hi
I'm 14 years old and I just bought a used sunfish for our lakehouse. I am the only one in our family who knows how to sail, and I am really worried about capsizing it. It is an older one, from the 70's or 80's and it is in good condition. My dad keeps saying that it's not a good idea to capsize it because the centerboard could break with too much pressure. I want to go out on a really calm day and try purposely capsizing it just to make sure I know how to do it. I am about 100 pounds and im worried I'm not heavy enough to right it if it did capsize. Does anyone have any tips or advice? thanks
