"Self righting in case of capsize" - guess they are dumbing it down so that anyone can sail one. Just imagine what that would do for windsurfing - no more uphauling or water starts necessary.

what Sunfish sailors do when no one is looking:

TIL: The Sunfish's predecessor, the Sailfish, was born from an earlier attempt to build a paddleboard for the Red Cross.
