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)

1970s Alcort Sunfish Fiberglass Sailboat - Day Sailer - Novice to Expert Sailor

Warrensburg, Missouri

Midwest Sunfish Sailboat, 1970s! This boat is in overall good shape and has always been kept indoors. The boat has not been cleaned and mild dirt on the sail was not washed prior to pictures. The boat has been in storage for several years and therefore the decision is to let her go to someone who will sail her again. She has been a good, reliable boat and never let us down. The boat has all its parts and accessories except for the centerboard, tiller and rudder... which have somehow been misplaced. The boat has had a mild fiberglass repair on the hull (see pictures) but it does not leak. The sail is in strong condition and also has a few repairs (see pictures). As you can see, rudder/tiller assemblies can be purchased online (new and used) as well as centerboards (new and used). The sail comes with its original bag. Available for local pickup. Shipping might be possible for a fee. Call Jason with any questions 6608646900 Features: The distinctive lateen sail gives the Sunfish an anachronistic appearance. Using a lateen rig for this style boat shifts the advantage toward better performance in lighter air and contributes to it having good down-wind characteristics. The hull’s very mild "V" bottom and hard chine make Sunfish a most stable boat for its size, along with enabling it to sail on a plane. Planing allows the boat to achieve a speed greater than theoretical hull speed based on length at waterline. Having a down-wind performance advantage helps the Sunfish to achieve a planing attitude at lower wind speeds. Designed as a water-tight, hollow-body pontoon, a hull like the Sunfish has is sometimes referred to as "self-rescuing" because the boat can be capsized and its cockpit swamped without threat of the boat sinking. Sunfish Boat Specifications LOA: 13\'9" Beam: 4\'1" Draft: 2\'11" Sail Area: 75 Square Feet Hull Weight: 120 Pounds Capacity: 1-2 people Skill Level: Beginner-Expert Race Level: Club International Optimal Weight: upto 190 pounds Transport: Car top carrier, hand dolly, over-the-road trailer The sailplan requires just 2 lines to control and the boat can be set up in less than 5 minutes. The patented kick-up rudder system allows full beach landings with no problems. The hard-chined hull and low sail plan provide unmatched stability and a forgiving feel. The Sunfish hull is light enough to throw on top of your car with ease. The Sunfish combines performance, stability and durability in a package that appeals to beginners and experts alike. If it's racing you crave, the International Sunfish Class has a full time staff that sanctions more than 1000 events each year. Add the hundreds of local and regional events to that list and you can stay pretty busy racing your Sunfish. The class will keep you posted with its quarterly magazine "Windward Leg" and provide valuable performance tips. The elegant simplicity, performance, and intelligent economy of the Sunfish is unmatched. The Sunfish enjoys fantastic resale value. Highlights: Convenient storage in the back of cockpit which is perfect for extra gear or a cooler Patented kick-up rudder makes beach launches, landings, and shallow-water sailing effortless. Self-bailing cockpit Hydrodynamic daggerboard maximizes upwind performance. Lateen rigged sail: 1.) automatically depowers when hit by a gust of wind 2.) two sides of the sail are supported which ensures durability 3.) easy to rig and derig Mainsheet is the only control line that you need to use to enjoy the simple pleasures of sailing a Sunfish. Simple main halyard is one of the two lines on the Sunfish, it hoists and lowers the sail in a matter of seconds, enabling spontaneous enjoyment of the water Stainless steel bow handle: facilitates carrying, docking, and holding the boat into the wind while launching or loading

Alcort Sunfish Sailboat Boat, Mast, Sail, ropes, Rudder, and 2 Centerboard s

Mashpee, Massachusetts

Make Alcort Sunfish

Model Alcort Sunfish

I paid $1,575 for this boat 7 years ago. It had sat in someones garage for 30 years. It was in fantastic shape when I bought it. It was used 2 times the first year I got it. I had grown up sailing a sunfish and bought it hoping I would use it a lot at the lake in Mashpee Massachusetts summer cottage where it has been stored. It has been stored year round underneath tarps completely covered year round. This sale includes the boat, the sail, the ropes, the mast, 2 centerboards, and the rudder. The rudder was missing the last segment when I bought it-the part you hold on to, so I invented a last segment which worked fine for me. One centerboard is in great shape, the other in ok shape. The one piece of damage is seen clearly in the photos- one piece of metal strapping has peeled away from the edge. I am sure someone who knows what they are doing can bend it back. I would rather not attempt it myself. It was watertight when I sailed it. It is sold as is.It is a great deal.Cape Cod Mashpee on the shore of a lake.

1972 Sunfish sailboat 14' good sail with trailer new wheel tire hitch no mast

West Lafayette, Indiana

Length 14 feet

This is a Sunfish sailboat 14' with trailer. The boat is from 1972. A clear title comes with the trailer. It has a new wheel, tire and hitch with 1 7/8" socket. The sail is in good condition and has the emblem of the black sunfish on it. The two aluminum booms are both there, however the main mast is missing. It has some cosmetic scratches around the seating area, which can be filled in. Pictures of the rudder and the back of the boat show the metal hooks to attach the rudder, which is made of mahogany wood and aluminum. Though I have sailed this boat for many years, but not lately, I forgot how to attach it. The tiller does not have the extension, but it can be easily added. The sail is complete with aluminum booms and pulleys etc. The dagger board is included, as well as an extra paddle. Will Ship Worldwide.

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

Ice Blue with Navy Blue Trim

Shoreline Sailboats is proud to be an authorized dealer for the Sunfish from Laser Performance.

LaserPerformance is the only builder of the original Sunfish. We especially like the Sunfish for its versatility as a kid-friendly family boat, and an all out racing machine. We recognize the Sunfish as an amazing boat because it has such a long and rich heritage. Sunfish sailors are an incredibly diverse group who share a passion for one of the most popular boats ever conceived.

Most popular sailboat ever built:

Sunfish This is the classic boat you grew up with. World class racers such as Dennis Conner, of America’s Cup fame, and Gary Hoyt, who developed the Freedom class and won the first Sunfish worlds in 1972, learned to sail at the tiller of the Sunfish.

Will White’s “The Sunfish Book” , “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.

This is what happens after Winter boredom sets in

or It’s the fumes ........

New Merch ....

Taking it down to the finish...., my shop mission, keep it original.

The Sunfish sailboats I restore are not painted. I hand wet sand the original gelcoat to bring back the gloss finish through a multi step process. The hulls are weighed and force dried with hot air if needed. Upgrades include access ports added for inspection to vital areas of the hull. All hulls are stripped of all hardware and refitted with new or refinished parts as needed. All boats are re-rigged with new lines , sail rings, sails( if wanted). Other upgrades and custom features can be added to make your sailing experience even better.

Keep It Green

In Vermont clean water is a paramount issue as with other states. Conservation and reclamation of resources keeps toxic materials from entering the environment. My Water reclaiming system reuses the water I use for wet sanding while the by-product is captured through a multi filter medium . This ensures nothing will be going down the drain and into the ground or sewer systems. While I still enjoy being outside during the warmer months to do my initial washing and prep work, I still keep the heavy sanding work inside in my containment wash booth. Also recycling these sailboats in many cases keeps them out of the landfills and on the water for many more years to come.

Keep em' Sailing

These Iconic and colorful sailboats have been around for over 60 years putting wet smiles on both young and old alike. Every Sunfish has a story and my restorations rekindle many lost memories of sailing adventures in just about every body of water world wide. As a kid I was fortunate to have learned how to sail a sunfish in Montego Bay, Jamaica and I have been "hooked" ever since. I travel all over New England hand picking the best hulls for restorations to ensure I turn out the best possible restored turnkey Sunfish Sailboats available so all you have to do is sail away!
