I just sold one that's about that age... was my mothers (and raced actively in the late 60's all the way to the early 80's). Heck, my mother's friend (in her mid 80's) is STILL racing Sunfish. Just had a regatta at Sarasota a few weeks back?

First boat I singlehanded as a yoot. Learned how to handle varnish by maintaining those wooden foils (centerboard/rudder).

A little heavy compared to today's version (I think this one was fiberglass over plywood?) and likely won't win any national regattas, but the dude bought it to drag the kids out on the water... which is perfect for what he wanted and the price point ($950 with trailer).

I'm sure we've all seen some pretty whacked-out boats out on the water... But the smiling sailor tells the story...
