I have found the information on this site to be really helpful as I've looked for a sailboat. Today I was fortunate to acquire a beautiful 1950s wooden super sailfish in really good condition. I think it had been stored in a garage for the past 30 years (or more) based on the layers of dust. The prior owner (who looked to be in his late 70s) got the boat from his good friend who was the waterfront director of a boys summer camp in the late 1940s-mid 1950s. The boat had belonged to the camp. Apparently the friend was fanatical about taking care of the boat. It has aluminum mast and spars, not wood, but the hardware for the rudder has the patent pending language, so given that, and the time period that it was supposedly at the camp, I think that it is early to mid 1950s vintage.
