StarCraft Sea Flite

Hi, new to the forum here. Last year I refurbished a 12' sailboat that had been in the family since I was a child, and last in the water more than 25 years ago. Primarily cosmetic damage to the gelcoat from a garage fire, my wife and I sanded, filled, primed and painted in a mad rush for vacation sailing.

The old Sea Flite handled like a dream, just as I remembered, providing hours of fun on the water.

I'll have to take some next time I get it out. If anyone took any last year, I don't know about them.

12 Foot Seaflite

I see you just restored a Seaflite. I have a Lido 14 and am buying a Seaflite this weekend - for a song. Glad to hear it sails well. I, too, will have to restore this one. Do you have a photo? Thanks!

Starcraft Seaflite Dagger Board Photo/Dimensions needed

Yesterday, I bought a Seaflite near Fort Worth, Texas. All is is missing is the dagger board (Aluminum). If anyone has a photo and the dimensions, I'd sure appreciate it. I understand that it is 1/4" aluminum, so making one, shouldn't be too much trouble - but I need the shape and dimensions. Thanks!

Mike

The dagger board is 3/16" aluminum, L: 35", W: 12". There are two ears bent over 1 1/2" wide at the top to grab onto, so total length of your aluminum stock should include this. Three 3/4" holes centered about 1 1/4" from the leading edge, at roughly 3", 17 1/2", and 27 1/2" from the top to adjust depth. Links for pics:

Glad I could help. Do you know of a source for the original snap type vinyl mast hoops? I'm using zip ties for two that were lost.
