  • That hole in the deck (former cockpit) must be the live well.
  • The mast hole must make one heck of a rod holder or a cup holder.
  • Could you rack your backup rods in the daggerboard slot like pool cues?
  • I wonder if the boat horn plays Dixie.
  • My father-inlaw wants one on cammo.
 
It's a wooden Super Sailfish, not Sunfish. The Super Sailfish was the longer (14') and wider (3') version of the 12' wooden Sailfish. It was given to me after sitting unassembled for 48 years. The only thing missing was the directions! It took almost a year to finish.
 
Those instructions showed up on the Sunfish Sailor Group right after I finished building my boat. The good news is that I seemed to have gotten most of the assembly correct using LOTS of old Alcort pictures and advice from someone who restored his Sailfish! :)
 
This boat really has got class! I would not be surprised if I see one set up on display at Bass Pro Shops soon. I'm guessing it will be an Olympic class by 2025. :)
 
As soon as Tournament Fishing becomes an Olympic sport :confused: we’re sure to see these, only with a metal flake finish and an 80 hp outboard. :eek::D:rolleyes:
