Notes
The successor to the original SAILFISH (first introduced in 1948). The SAILFISH was originally built of plywood and many were sold as kits. The fiberglass SUPER SAILFISH MKII was introduced in 1959 and the original was discontinued shortly afterward. ALCORT produced several hundred SUPER SAILFISH a year but it was soon eclipsed in popularity by the hugely successful SUNFISH, which was first produced in fiberglass at about the same time.
