Sunfish is a 13 ′ 10 ″ / 4.2 m monohull sailboat designed by Alexander Bryan/Cortland Heyniger/Carl Meinart and built by Pearson Yachts, Alcort, AMF Corp., and LaserPerformance starting in 1952.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Although the earliest models were built of wood and offered as kits, the fiberglass version, first introduced in 1960, became the most popular recreational sailboat in history. As a result, there were many imitators.

Sunfish – Race Version

$ 6,150.00

“The Sunfish is pure sailing—the sail in the wind, the board in the water, and you in the hull in between—one hand on the tiller, the other on the sheet and the wind in your hair. Pure sailboat racing, too. For the racing sailor, it is the essence of yacht racing. It was the first truly one-design boat, rigidly controlled by the manufacturer, with even the sails limited to one loft (for measured sails) and very little that could be done in the way of adding expensive go-fasts. No need for a new set of sails every year. No need to keep buying or changing expensive hardware to keep up with the latest sailing theory.” – Will White

LK SCALE MODELS

The Sunfish sailboat is a personal size, beach launched sailing dinghy utilizing a pontoon type hull carrying a lateen sail mounted to an un-stayed mast.

Sunfish was developed by Alcort, Inc. and first appeared around 1952 as the "next generation" improvement on their original boat, the Sailfish. In contrast, the Sunfish has a wider beam for more stability, increased freeboard and the addition of a foot-well for a more comfortable sailing position. Sunfish began as a wood hull design and progressed to fiberglass construction just a few years after its introduction.

Having a lateen sail with its simple two line rigging makes a Sunfish simple to learn sailing on and to set up. Upgrades can be added to enhance sail control for competitive sailing, making the boat attractive to both novice and experienced sailors alike.

Due to the broad appeal of the Sunfish, in 1995 it was commended by The American Sailboat Hall of Fame for being "the most popular fiberglass boat ever designed, with a quarter million sold worldwide" (at that point in time). Today, the Sunfish brand-name has become so widely known it is often misapplied generically to refer to any brand board-style boat sporting the characteristic lateen sail.

Sunfish Sailboat: Cost, Best Models and More

Categories Boating

If you’re passionate about sailing or eager to embark on a sailing adventure, you’ve likely encountered the renowned Sunfish sailboat. The Sunfish is a beloved and adaptable recreational sailboat, captivating sailors worldwide. So, what influences the price of a Sunfish sailboat? Factors such as age, condition, manufacturer, and additional features or accessories play a role. Newer models or those in pristine condition tend to be more expensive, while older or slightly worn vessels are more budget-friendly.

The average price range of a Sunfish sailboat falls between $2,000 and $6,000. However, prices can vary based on location and the availability of second-hand options. Researching the market thoroughly and consulting reputable sellers to find the best deal possible is crucial.

What is a Sunfish Sailboat?

Ah, the Sunfish Sailboat. Picture an easy-breezy day out at sea, blue skies above, nothing but the sound of waves around you, and the perfect companion underneath you – a Sunfish Sailboat. Sounds like a dream, right? But what exactly is one?

A Sunfish sailboat is essentially a personal-sized, beach-launched sailing dinghy. It incorporates a very flat hull and a lateen sail mounted to an un-stayed mast. If this is all sounds a bit too technical, no need to worry – just think of it as the go-to option for a relaxing day sailing on the sea.

Design and Features

Minimalism and efficiency are keywords when talking about the design of the Sunfish sailboat. The body, or let’s call it the hull, is flat and lightweight. This special design makes it quite easy to handle, even if you’re new to sailing. Imagine you’re a kite surfboarder trying sailing for the first time – a Sunfish sailboat can give you a similar thrill without demanding a high level of skill!

Another key feature is the late sail. In case you’re wondering, a lateen sail is triangular, and as the wind blows, it spreads out. It’s kind of like opening an umbrella on a rainy day but with wind instead of rain!

A Sunfish sailboat also includes an unstayed mast. The term “un-stayed” might sound a tad fancy, but it’s quite simple. It just means the mast, which holds up the sail, lacks support or guys. Think of it this way – it’s kind of like your older cousin who refused to hold anyone’s hand while ice skating for the first time. Such masts make sunfish sailboats easy to rig (prepare for sailing) and add to their simplicity.

Here, we Have Listed 5 Popular Sunfish Sailboats along with their specs and estimated prices.

1. 1952 Original Sunfish

Key features.

First off, we have the  1952 Original Sunfish . Reminiscent of the era of classic rock ‘n’ roll, this model marked the genesis of the Sunfish brand. Picture this: A flat as a pancake, board-like hull paired with an oceanic lateen sail, giving it a distinguished look and a feel that’s perfect for beginners. The simplicity of its design is akin to the straightforward yet profound lyrics of the Beatles!

Notable specifics:

• Price:  Truly, a piece is valuable as much as someone is willing to pay for it. This model predominantly dominates the used market, with prices varying according to condition and seller.
• Size:  It measures approximately 13 feet 9 inches (4.19 m) in length and 4 feet 1 inch (1.24 m) in width (called beam in nautical language).
• Key features:  Its iconic, board-like flat hull, oceanic lateen sail, and bear-simple rigging make it notably suitable for sailing novices.

2. AMF Alcort Sunfish

Fast forward to 1969, and you have the  AMF Alcort Sunfish , born when AMF Corp. got its hands on Alcort. Think of it as the classic Sunfish having a facelift! Noteworthy is its fiber-glass construction, which places durability as its top characteristic. Imagine owning a pair of Levi’s denim jeans that just seem to get better with age!

• Price:  Like its predecessor, pricing for the AMF Alcort Sunfish can be quite the surprise box, depending primarily on condition and seller.
• Size:  Slightly longer than the 1952 model, this one measures about 13 feet 10 inches (4.2 m) in length and has a beam of 1.2 m.
• Key features:  Its fiberglass anatomy speaks volumes for its durability, making it extremely sought-after during its time.

3. Pearson Sunfish

The baton of the brand was passed to Pearson Yachts in 1988. Subsequently, the  Pearson Sunfish , bearing the classic Sunfish blueprint paired with modern rigging technology, made its grand debut. It was like marrying the charm of vintage vinyl records with the ease of modern streaming – the perfect blend of old and new.

• Price:  Once again, scouring the used market will be your best bet to lay hands on this model, with prices subject to variation.
• Size:  Pearson managed to squeeze a tad more length, making it 14 feet with the same beam of about 4’1″.
• Features:  This model prides itself on keeping the classic Sunfish design intact but incorporating modern materials and techniques for a heightened sailing experience.

4. Sunfish/Laser, Inc. (SLI) Sunfish

Come mid-1990s, and we have the  Sunfish/Laser, Inc. (SLI) Sunfish  making waves (pun intended) in the sailing sphere. The standout feature? A daggerboard that delves deeper than its predecessors, alongside top-shelf construction aimed at competitive sailing. Picture it as an F1 car but for the sea!

• Price:  Predominantly found in the used market, the price of the SLI Sunfish can be as tricky as a game of Battleship, varying heavily based on condition and the individual seller.
• Size:  The SLI Sunfish maintains a coequal length of about 13.9FT/4.24M, and beam measuring around 4.1FT/1.25M.
• Features:  It introduced a slightly deeper daggerboard in this model. The high-quality construction predestines it for competitive sailing, ready to face the waves like a chess master ready for his next match.

5. Vanguard Sunfish

Last but certainly not least, we have the  Vanguard Sunfish . Introduced by Vanguard in 1997, it is known for its high-quality construction and is commonly used in competitive sailing events. Think of it as the sailboat equivalent of a professional ballerina – elegant, efficient, and poised for performance.

• Price:  You can expect to shell out around $2,700 for a 2002 model, but remember, prices can swing like a pendulum depending on varying factors.
• Size:  The Vanguard model measures an overall length of 14 feet with a beam size of approximately 4’1″.
• Features:  Apart from the quality construction that plays a significant role in its performance in sailing tournaments, one more feature that stands out is its potential to hold its resale value fairly well. It’s like owning a collectible action figure that’s worth more as it ages!

Factors Affecting the Cost of a Sunfish Sailboat

When it comes to determining the cost of a Sunfish sailboat, several factors come into play. Let’s explore these factors to gain a better understanding.

1. New vs. Used

The first decision you’ll need to make is whether to buy a new or used Sunfish sailboat. New boats generally come at a higher price due to their pristine condition and the added costs of manufacturing and distribution. On the other hand, used boats can offer significant savings but may require some maintenance and repairs.

2. Age and Condition

The age and condition of a Sunfish sailboat can greatly influence its price. A brand-new Sunfish sailboat will understandably command a higher price than an older one. Similarly, a well-maintained and cared-for used Sunfish sailboat may hold its value better than one that has seen neglect or excessive wear and tear.

3. Accessories and Upgrades

Another factor that affects the cost is the presence of accessories and upgrades. Some Sunfish sailboats may have additional features such as covers, trailers, or upgraded rigging. These added features can increase the price but also enhance the overall sailing experience.

Average Price Range for a Sunfish Sailboat

A Sunfish sailboat can range in cost from $1,000 to as much as $6,000. Of course, the price will depend on the type of boat chosen and where it is purchased. A second-hand sailboat will be cheaper than a new one, so a second-hand sunfish sailboat will be perfect if you’re looking for a budget option. But if money isn’t the problem, go for the brand-new Sunfish sailboat. The price range of both new and second-hand Sunfish Sailboats is mentioned below.

Cost of New Sunfish Sailboats

New Sunfish Sailboats cost between $3,500 and $6,000. Sunfish Sailboats are available in various colors that the buyer can customize. Most of the time, A new sunfish sailboat is better to buy than a second-hand one. However, the price can be reduced by searching on the Internet for a used boat. You can purchase a Sunfish Sailboat from several retailers, including Dick’s Sporting Goods and Academy Sports.

Cost of Second-Hand Sunfish Sailboats

You can find second-hand Sunfish sailboats for around $1,000 to $3,500. Look for boats that have been dry-sailed and are in good condition with no holes or imperfections. If the boat is in bad shape, it’s not worth spending money; wait some time and buy a new one once you have the money. But if the condition is good, then go for it.

Usually, second-hand boat sails will need to be replaced after some time and should be replaced with newer ones if you plan on racing competitively. An excellent place to find a used Sunfish sailboat is on the Sunfish Sailing Forum (which can be found worldwide).

So grab your lifejacket and let’s embark on this thrilling adventure of Sunfish sailing mastery .

Rigging the Sunfish Sailboat

Rigging the Sunfish Sailboat is necessary before sailing. Follow these steps:

• Attach the mast to the mast step at the front of the Sunfish sailboat.
• Secure the sail to the halyard and hoist it up the mast, ensuring proper attachment.
• Connect the boom to the gooseneck at the bottom of the mast.
• Attach the mainsheet to the rear of the boom and thread it through the blocks on the Sunfish.
• Connect the mainsheet to the traveler, a sliding bar at the back of the boat.
• Attach the rudder to the back of the Sunfish, making sure it is securely in place.
• Check all the lines and rigging to ensure proper tightening and securing.

Once the Sunfish sailboat is rigged, you can start your sailing adventure. Always double-check your rigging before going on the water and familiarize yourself with the boat’s operation. Remember that weather conditions can impact sailing, so adjust the sail trim accordingly. Happy sailing!

Understanding Wind Direction and Sail Trim

Understanding wind direction and sail trim is crucial for successful sailing of a Sunfish sailboat. Adjusting the sail trim based on wind direction is key to optimizing the boat’s performance.

To determine wind direction, look for visual cues such as flags, water ripples, or movement of tree branches. It’s important to remember that wind can change direction, so regularly assess its angle relative to your boat.

Once wind direction is identified, adjust the sail trim accordingly. For effective upwind sailing, tightly trim the sail to catch more wind, creating lift and propelling the boat forward. Conversely, when sailing downwind, ease the sail to maximize the catching area and take advantage of the force of the wind pushing from behind.

Sail trim requires continuous monitoring and adjustment as the wind changes. Experimenting with different trim settings will help you find the optimal balance between speed and control .

Understanding wind direction and sail trim improves with practice and experience. Sailing and observing wind behavior will enhance your ability to instinctively trim the sail and enjoy a smooth and exhilarating sailing experience.

Steering and Controlling the Rudder

• 1. Check rudder position: Before steering the Sunfish sailboat, ensure that the rudder is centered, aligned with the boat’s keel, and straight.
• 2. Hold tiller extension: Firmly grasp the tiller extension, a long handle connected to the rudder. Maintain a comfortable grip while allowing for movement and flexibility.
• 3. Understand tiller and rudder relationship: The tiller is connected to the rudder, and any tiller movement directly affects the rudder’s position. Moving the tiller to the right turns the rudder right, and moving the tiller to the left turns the rudder left.
• 4. Adjust rudder angle: To steer the Sunfish sailboat, adjust the rudder angle. Push the tiller extension to the left to turn right, and push it to the right to turn left.
• 5. Maintain balance and stability: When steering and controlling the rudder, maintain balance and stability on the sailboat. Distribute weight evenly, stay centered in the boat, and make subtle adjustments for control.

Practice steering and controlling the rudder in different weather conditions and sailboat speeds to enhance proficiency. Through practice, you will develop a better understanding of effectively maneuvering the Sunfish sailboat.

Advanced Sailing Skills

Mastering the art of sailing a Sunfish requires more than just the basics. In this section, we’ll dive into advanced sailing skills that will take your Sunfish adventures to the next level. Discover the secrets of effective sail positioning and shaping , the art of tacking and jibing with finesse, and how to truly harness the power of the wind . Get ready to elevate your sailing game and navigate the waters with confidence.

Sail Positioning and Shaping

When sailing a Sunfish, proper sail positioning and shaping are key to efficient sailing. Consider the following factors:

– Wind direction: Position the sail perpendicular to the wind for maximum power.

– Sail shape: Adjust the sail’s shape using the cunningham, outhaul, and boomvang control lines.

– Cunningham: Tighten the cunningham to flatten the sail and reduce draft, especially in strong winds or for better upwind performance.

– Outhaul: Adjust the outhaul to control tension on the foot of the sail. Tightening it flattens the sail for increased speed and control in stronger winds.

– Boomvang: Properly adjust the boomvang to control tension on the leech of the sail and achieve optimal sail shape and control.

– Weight distribution: Positioning your body weight correctly on the boat is crucial for stability and performance. Adjust your position to maintain control and balance.

– Foot position: Properly position your feet on the hiking straps to balance and stabilize the boat. This allows for necessary sail adjustments and effective boat control.

– Continuously observe the sail and make necessary adjustments to adapt to changing wind conditions and optimize performance.

Mastering sail positioning and shaping in Sunfish sailing can greatly enhance your sailing experience and improve overall performance on the water.

Tacking and Jibing

– Prepare the Sunfish sailboat for tacking or jibing by trimming the sail and maintaining a steady speed. Begin the maneuver by turning the bow of the boat into the wind and crossing to the other side. Release the sail as the boat turns to make the turn smoother. Change sides on the boat to balance the weight and aid in the turn. Quickly switch the sail to the new side as the boat completes the turn and the wind fills the sail. Pull in the sail and adjust the trim for the desired speed and direction.

For jibing , turn the stern of the boat through the wind to change the direction. Prepare to release the sail as the boat turns and let it swing across. Cross over to the opposite side of the boat for balance during the turn. Guide the sail smoothly to the new side and adjust the trim accordingly. Continuously monitor the wind and make minor adjustments to maintain control and maximize efficiency.

Harnessing the Power of the Wind

Harnessing the Power of the Wind is crucial for successful Sunfish sailing. Here are some key points to consider:

1. Positioning the sail: Properly position the sail to catch the wind and propel the boat forward. Adjust the sail based on the wind direction and intensity.

2. Sail trim: Maintain proper sail trim to optimize wind capture. Adjust the sheet to keep it taut but not too tight. Watch for signs of luffing or flapping, which indicate insufficient use of wind power.

3. Using the telltales: Utilize the telltales on the sail to determine wind flow across its surface. The position and direction of the telltales help gauge proper sail trim. Adjust the sail to maximize wind efficiency.

4. Feathering: Reduce wind resistance and maintain forward momentum in strong winds by angling the sail away from the wind. This technique prevents excessive heeling and maintains control over the boat.

5. Understanding gusts and lulls: Be aware of changes in wind intensity. In gusts, loosen the sail to prevent overpowering. In lulls, adjust the sail to catch any available wind. Adapting to changing wind conditions improves overall sailing performance.

By implementing these techniques, you can effectively harness the power of the wind during your Sunfish sailing adventures. Practice and experience will improve your understanding of wind dynamics and enhance your sailing skills. Enjoy the exhilaration of harnessing nature’s force and explore the open water with confidence.
