Storage | Avoid storing the hull in direct sunlight as this will cause the plastic to become brittle. It's best to store the hull upside down when storing for extended periods. |
Hulls | Made from one piece roto-molded polyethylene with no seam, giving high impact-resistance and durability. |
Masts/ booms/ spars |
Were originally made by Fiberspar. Now hard to come by. Originally made in aluminium, later rigs used carbon fibre. |
Sails | Originally made by North Sails. Later made by Neil Pryde Sails. Some sails are made from Dacron, the clear sails are made from Mylar (if SmartRig) or monofilm (if SimpleRig). |
Rudder stock/ Rudder head |
Most of the boats use the same rudder stock and parts as the Sunfish dinghy. |
Rudder blade | Rumba/Captiva - made from solid spruce. |
