My backyard looks like an Alcort museum, picked up 3 boats to add to the restoration queue, a 1963 wooden Sunfish, a wooden Super Sailfish with elephant ear rudder and a 1962 fiberglass Super Sailfish MKII. I guess all I need now is a 12 foot Sailfish to go with the other fiberglass and wooden Sunfish.
So if anyone needs a history lesson or has a Sailfish,, swing on by
Sailed the Super Sailfish, it weighed 140 before sailing, it took on a lot of water and we are draining it. It may have been built from plans. Sailed the Super Sailfish MKII, it weighed 138 before sailing, so is the foam water logged? Wikipedia says they both should weigh around 100 pounds? Leak checked the Sunfish, it weighed 150 before the water and we got a little water in the bow compartment that drained out of the deck drain. It has a deck drain on each side, one for the bow compartment and one for the stern compartment. The water leaked into the cockpit from behind the frames, so we will be revealing that down the road.
