Snark Sunflower 3.3 Sailboat Mint Condition

• Model: Sunflower 3.3

Seller notes

This is a Snark Sunflower 3.3 sailboat in used but excellent condition. there are very few minor scratches on the hull and just a little dirt on the sail. Boat was only used a couple of times.The sunflower is wider and deeper than its super snark counterpart. which adds considerably more room in the boat and much more stable. The Snark if probably the easiest boat to rig and sail bar none. and is the best sailboat to learn to sail in that I know of. the hull only weighs about 50 lbs so it is eas...

I have a Snark Sunflower Sailboat, and I am not sure how much it is worth. If someone could give me some insight on it that would be great. It is in good working condition with all original parts except the mast. The sail works and is in good condition, but should be replaced soon.  

A sailboat without a mast is (as they say) like a fish without a bicycle. Not worth very much.  

Sorry - it does has a mast just not the original mast.  

Its not worth worth much. Maybe nothing. You can make a DIY mast and buy a sail for around $100. I Have one that was given to me missing the mast and a very tired mains sail and lines. It cost me $200 all up to make it good enough so my 6 year could use it with his friends on the lake at the campground. I think I spent $50 on gorilla glue, LOL. It sails like a dog, but it’s a fun toy. It’s so light weight that it’s perfect for little kids. I gave it to my son at age 5 or 6. It kept him amused for hours a day for two or three summers! I’m looking for the somebody with kids who would like to own it . I’ll give it away for free.

They really aren't worth more than $100 in working condition  

Crazy Dave Condon

Donate it to a local water fire department so they can play with it for practice by setting it on fire  

I am a new member of the forum and can't figure out how to post this separately, but for those who are familiar with the Snark Sunflower, can you tell me the appropriate line size for the halyard line? I'm guessing 5/16? Is the control line the same size? Thanks in advance!!! Dadof9  

I learned to sail in a Super Snark, and IIRC the halyard went over the top of the mast, held in place by a groove in the plastic mast cover. You would want to size the line so it fit in that groove. Too tight, and you cant raise the main easily. A little too loose wouldn't necessarily be a problem if tension was maintained.

SHOP NOW:    SUPER/SEA SNARK SAILS         SUNFLOWER SAILS       NEIL PRYDE DACRON       WHITE DACRON

Sea skimmer sails      sunchaser & mayflower sails    66 sq ft sail        batwing sail       snark parts,   about our sails.

SailboatsToGo offers our own nylon sails, original Snark nylon sails, Sailmaker Neil Pryde dacron sails, white dacron sails, and sails for the Snark Sea Skimmer and Sea Devil. 

Satisfaction guaranteed! Our nylon  sails are very well made durable nylon sails that will fit Super Snark, Sea Snark, Sears Whirlwind, Spring Creek, SailboatsToGo (that's us!),  Paddle ski,  Sea Eagle, and  SOAR .  Our  Snark Sailboat sail is 45 square feet, nylon.  It will fit your Sea Snark or Super Snark just like the original.   A great many Snark owners have bought these from us, we receive many messages from satisfied customers ( see Messages from Customers section below ) and we have never had a single one ask for a refund, but if you're not happy with it, you can be the first!  We also carry original equipment Snark brand nylon sails.  Usually arrives in less than a week.  Very low shipping cost.

Our white dacron and Sailmaker Neil Pryde International dacron sails are more durable and hold their shape better (stretches much less) than nylon in strong winds, which will give you better upwind performance.

These are all true, aerodynamic, shaped sails, which means they are cut and sewn to have the necessary camber (3-dimensional curvature) for creating aerodynamic lift.  They have sleeves for the boom and gaff and cutouts in the right places for tieing on the sheet and halyard and for the mast ring.   

These sails are used on canoes, ice boats, inflatable boats, kayaks and dinghies, in addition to Snark styrofoam boats

Colors and Sizes and Types

Colors:  14 different sail color schemes!    Custom Graphics:   Add your logo to your sail.  $18 per square foot of logo $25 . Email us.  

Sizes :  The 45 square foot ("SF") sails fit Sea Snarks and Super Snarks and some older Sunflowers.  Also the Sears Whirlwind. All Sunflowers built after 1983 (and some older Sunflowers) take the 55 SF sail (scroll farther down this page for 55 SF sail offerings).   Some pre-1983 Sunflowers take the 45 and some take the 55, so that's where we have to take size identification to the next level.   Click Here

We have nylon sails below and we have dacron sails, farther down the page. Dacron is a premium-grade material that is stiffer and less stretchy, so the sail holds its intended shape better, even in strong winds and after years of service.   Within the Dacron category, we have a generic white sail, and we have name-brand Neil Pryde sails in various color schemes.  The Neil Pryde sails have premium-quality workmanship, such as heavier stitching and heavier reinforcement at stress points.

SUPER SNARK and SEA SNARK SAILS (45 square foot)  (also fit Sailboats To Go and Whirlwind)

Sunflower 3.3 sails (55 square foot)  (also fits sailboatstogo), do not assume all sunflowers take a 55 sf sail   explanation  , neil pryde international dacron sails (45 sq ft and 55 sq ft) .

Dacron (polyester) is a stiffer, less stretchy material than nylon.  A Dacron sail will hold its shape and not stretch out in strong winds.  It's also a heavier material and therefore stronger, as compared to nylon.   Neil Pryde is a widely-respected sail maker, known for quality workmanship.  You will be impressed with the extra heavy stitching on these sails, done with the greatest attention to detail.  Shipping cost will show up in your cart.  It's not much (around $10).   For an additional choice in a 45 SF colored Dacron sail see the Blue/White/Yellow OEM Snark Sail above.

WHITE DACRON SAILS (45 and 55 square foot)

This is a house brand sail (not Neil Pryde) but still very good quality.  As compared to nylon, dacron (polyester) is a stiffer, less stretchy material so the sail will hold its shape and not belly out in strong winds.  More Pictures and info click here .

66 SQUARE FOOT NYLON SAIL.

The 66 square foot sail is both longer and taller on the spars. spar extensions are needed for both the boom and top spar.  if you already have spars for our 55 square foot sail, you will only need one spar extension:  $20 each.  if you have oem sunflower spars, you'll have to devise an extension for the boom.   this link if for extending the boom on sailboatstogo spars:     add spar extension to cart  .   , batwing sail.

High tech modern design Batwing Sail. Great upwind performance in strong winds.  Reefable by means of zippers.  This is the modern Batwing sail from Balogh Sail Designs and includes a Free mast step that will adapt it to any of our rigs (not Snarks).

Messages from Customers

"Thanks so much for sending the sail out so promptly.  It arrived yesterday.  It's all set up in the backyard right now for my son to see for his birthday present!  It was a pleasure doing business with you."   --   Robyn M.

"Love doing business with your company.  I'm telling all my friends to buy sails from SailboatsToGo!" -- Joe L. 

"...went out yesterday with my daughter. We had a wonderful time and everyone commented on the beauty of the sail. Thanks for your prompt response.  I am very pleased with your sail and service and will recommend you." -- Mark Y.

"The new sail seems to be superior to the old Snark original in both material choice and construction."    Martin M.

"We received the sail for the Snark Sunflower on Wednesday.   Thank you for your prompt replies and shipment of the sail. We installed the sail and took it out last night.  It fit well, and worked well also. My son and I are very pleased with the sail and again thank you for the great response to my inquiries.  This has enabled my son to enjoy the sailboat a few days before he leaves home for 2 months.  I will happily recommend your business to anyone who needs sails and related items. Thank you very much!"  Tom and Seth B.   June 2011

"Hi, Jim - Just a note to let you know I just spent a very enjoyable weekend sailing our Super Snark with the new spar set we ordered earlier this month. Set up went very smoothly, thanks to the excellent set of instructions you supplied. The pictures were especially helpful. I found your spar set to be far superior to the original tubing and fittings that were on our Snark. That mast slide sure instills confidence compared to the flimsly fitting on the original. I hope to enjoy sailing on our pond here on Cape Cod as long as the weather holds up. Thanks again for your prompt service and excellent product." -  Chris

Interesting Facts About The Snark Sail Design

The Snark Sail is referred to as a "Lateen" style sail, which means the mast is short and the sail has another spar, called a gaff, which carries the peak of the sail up much higher than the top of the mast, with the gaff slightly angled so that the lower front corner of the sail is in front of the mast.   The Lateen style sail originated in ancient times and is still used all over the world on small boats, especially in India and the Arab world.  Those fishing and trading vessels often use rags and old grain sacks stitched together for sail cloth.  A Lateen sail can hold its own against a sloop rig of equal total sail area (sloop rigs have a jib and mainsail) in a race of otherwise equal boats and crews.  Don't believe what some say about jibs increasing the efficiency of the main.  Snark and SailboatsToGo and other users of the Lateen sail plan are continuing a long and proud tradition in sailing.
