One of the best things you can do to increase the quality of
your Sunfish sailing experience is to get your boat a new
sail. As the most popular sailboat ever, there's probably a
few boats that could use a new sail!

There are 11 different Sunfish sail color schemes. These
can be seen at

sell for $ 250.00 with the White Racing sail at $ 350.00.

Currently the Torresen Marine Ships Store has in stock the
following sails: Go Navy, Newport, Mist and Bora Bora.
