Sunfish Sailboat: Carry More than It's Rated 2 Aboard?
Title seems long enough.
Factory rates the Sunfish capacity at 2--total. New video (from Michigan) sent by a friend: https://youtu.be/qfiMW3dOsac |

With a few tries they got up to NINE adults along for a brief sailboat ride before their 14' Sunfish flopped over, again, into the lake.
Whatever Michigan lake it is, it looks like its maybe 65-degrees cool, or so?

Cow Island race
Wow! This could be a sidebar event at the third annual Cow Island Sunfish race at Winnipesaukee!

Sunfish Races?
Quote:
More importantly, it looked like a lot of fun! With better bailing devices, and putting one crewmember crosswise across the foredeck. (To lessen the waves filling the cockpit), they could have decent races. |

I really enjoyed watching that. Tons of fun, and I thought the support vessel being another sailboat showed a good level of sailing skill as well.
