Our video archive is fully searchable, and linked to all the clubs and classes in our database. It is updated weekly with the latest videos of sailing, but here we delve into the past, and round-up everything that shows sailing in Sunfish dinghies.
This video was shot sometime in the 1960s, in the Bahamas, and shows a Sunfish dinghy at some points. From a 35mm original in the Kinolibrary Archive Film Collections.
Next we have 1966 sailing in a Sunfish and an unknown class in the USA.
The first Sunfish Worlds were held in the US Virgin Islands by St. Thomas Yacht Club in 1970. Garry Hoyt won, and you can check the archive entries for this year and for his name at www.sunfishworlds.org!
From sometime in the 1970s, we have Sunfish sailing on Lake Erie as our only other video offering.
