the design (changed the rudder attachment) in 1973. So the current
Sunfish design is not as old as the Hobie 14 or 16.

Changing the brass escutcheons & hardware on the rudder to stainless
hardware is hardly a major difference. The part that touches the water
is the same. The hull drain plugs were changed from brass to plated at
that time too.

A more significant change I would say was the addition of the cockpit
storage and the change from a cast bailer venturi to plastic. It still
didn't change the boat at all.

The hull now has a rolled sealed edge instead of the old chrome lip trim
at the seam. Still the same boat.
