I don't even know what this is in English, let alone a translation! Any aqua sports enthusiasts?

Sunfish


Explanation:
Yo lo dejaría tal cual, o en todo caso pondría "navegación (en sunfish)".
Te advierto que en esto de la navegación la mayoría de las clases de competiciones llevan el nombre en inglés. Eduardo Cordero (de Venezuela) es el campeón del mundo por quinta vez en la especialidad de Sunfish (mira el primer enlace).
Suerte, Ana.

Navegación a vela (Sunfish Sailing)


Explanation:
Laura:
En la referencia que le he anotado abajo llaman al deporte "navegación a vela" . Le sugiero que lo escriba así en español y entre paréntesis incluya el nombre en inglés enseguida. Mi sugerencia parte de tratar de darle un poquito de significado o de contexto a quien desea saber qué quiere decir la expresión o la palabra en inglés. Pienso que esta es una solución práctica mientras se define un nombre oficial en español para este deporte.

Suerte y saludos de Oso ¶:^)
