I'm an original ower of an original Minifish II - the AMF ALcort sloop-rigged version of the Minifish, similar to the sloop-rigged Super Sunfish. Bought mine in 1976. it's been semi-retired for the last decade, but I had it out last weekend. As much fun as ever. Still have all the original parts. This rig planes and skips like a windsurfer in a stiff breeze!
I also have a 1976 AMF Alcort sales brochure and the original Minifish II rigging instructions. The hull is a standard Minifish except for the name plate and some uncharacteristically cheezy wood-grained applique on the splash coaming. The mast is unstayed, about 18 ft, with about a 6-foot boom. The sail specs out at 60 sq. ft and it has a 4-part mainsheet, a boom vang, outhaul and downhaul.
For a point of interest, the brochure has the following prices for their entire line of boats:
Sunfish - $752.
Minifish - $525.
Super Sunfish - $898.
Minifish II - $698.
Force 5 - $1085.
Puffer - $1185.
Sunbird - $ 2535.
I'd be happy to answer any questions regarding this rig, and whatever I can find in the brochure regarding the other boats.
