Yes, I have this boat and it's been modified slightly. I getting ready to do the maiden test on the mods today with any luck.

The Sunrise is a nice light wind boat and will move right along smartly. One thing with mine is that it had a tendency to weatherhelm to the extreme in winds over the 8 mph range. getting around 10 mpg and it would start trying to spin in circles and ignore the helm.

Don't get me wrong, she sails great in stock form but stick to winds under 8 mph and it will be great.

This brings me to the present modification. I removed the mast tube from inside the hull and replaced it with 1/2' balsa standing from deck to keel. This is to support the mast which I cut off at deck level and inserted a plug with a rounded end. I also have a mast plate with a series of "indents" so the mast can be moved forward a possible total of 2". I hope this will help the weather helm to be calmed a bit.

Finally, I had to move the jib swivel forward 1" to clear the mast.

Well, on the to the pond for the test run.
