1951. Dri-deck coaming and Barfair processed colored sails added to the Standard Sailfish 12 lineup, and a new 14 foot Sailfish added, the Sailfish 14. Three models factory built plus kits for the Sailfish 12 and the Sailfish 14.
Our Sailfish Deluxe 14, her new name is TRACKER.
Dri-deck coaming and toe rail.
Hardware refinement, fancy shiny bow handle from Wilcox and Crittenden that wraps the stem. Previous handles were similar to current handles and had a satin finish.
A chrome quarter round keel strip starts underneath the handle and continues underneath for 16 inches. Sorry that those screws have unclocked themselves, we have found that the wood backs them off a bit.
Rub rail makes a nice hand hold when boarding after capsize, we found it easier to board at the stern because we could reach across and and grab the rail. Too far to reach across amidships plus you have to hoist yourself over a handrail.
The Barfair process dyed the sails to different colors, old advertisements list the sail choice colors as Red, White, Blue and Yellow that went with color matched hulls. It also added water repellency and mildew proofing.
