I love this picture. Ted & Joan sailing on a Sunfish (or is it a Sailfish?). Long live the Kennedys.

And nice to have your own private beach in Hyannis Port! I thought it was a Sunfish, but now that you mention it, I'm not sure. I think I will query my friends on the Sunfish Forum. They will love the question. And I don't have a CSI computer to blow it up and retain any detail.

OK, the forum has come through and it is unanimously a Sailfish. The most convincing clue: the handhold on the side of the deck that Joan is using to help carry the boat. Also the height of the bow handle and the "size of the bow (deck to keel) - too small for a Sunfish".

I wonder if the boat's name is "Saily"?
