The Starfish is one of many "Sunfish" clones popular in the 1960s to
mid 1980s. Upward price changes in raw materials put many clone
companies, operating on razer thin margins, out of business. Many of
the clones were so closely designed to match the Sunfish that
specifications of the Sunfish are referenced as specifications for the
clones.
Many of the articles and videos on this page are well suited to the
Starfish. I have added Starfish specific articles as I have found them.
