The Sunfish is one of the most iconic recreational sailboats ever made. It’s still the boat a lot of adults remember having their first sailing experiences on. The Sunfish hasn’t changed much in the last 50 years. It’s not cutting edge - but it’s still perhaps the easiest boat to rig for sailing. Two lines - one to raise the sail, the other to trim it. That’s it. The Sunfish is fiberglass construction, but it lasts a long time without a lot of maintenance. Available in different colors every year, with a few different optional hardware upgrades - the Sunfish continues to sell in North America every summer.
