I just bought a 1970 Squall Dinghy which came with everything except the original sail. I thought someone here might know where I could get more info on this boat. The guy I bought it from gave me a sunfish rig but it seems kind of big for the boat..so I wanted to know what the sail dimensions where etc..I am going to try calling Whaler but I don't know how much they will help me.. Any help would be appreciated as I know little about this Thanks Chris in San Diego |

Chris - I just emailed you some pics of a Squall sailing. I've heard that a Sunfish rig can work. Depending on dimensions and the approximate size of the rig, you may have to cut down the Sunfish rig a bit. The sail may need some trimming. JimP |

Chris, Why don't you try the BW factory. They should still have the dimensions for that sail. Then a quick and easy job for your local sailmaker. |

Thanks for the info...sorry for the delay...I had a family emergency....and didn't have a chance to check my post.. I got some info from Boston Whaler..I can get a new sail for about $250...but I might wait..and just modifiy the sunfish sail setup...I only spent $200 for the boat...so I might wait to see if I like it before I start putting money into it.If you have any pictures or info that you can e-mail me please send them to me at: chefbubba@metacrawler.com
