Sunfish serial number / age help

[Dresq99]

I had looked up my Alcort Sunfish serial number years ago. As I recall, it's a 1967, but would like to confirm. It has the pre-1971 rudder hardware. The number stamped in the plate at the apex of the splash rail reads 1E872. Can't find the lookup page that I used. Thanks!

Hello, here are two places to start a lookup, the second link (pictures, etc) is also on the first links's page:

"E" was not used on Serial No. plates, maybe it is a number? Serial Nos. 8432 - 13000 are for 1963 and 13000 - 20900 are for 1964.

Thanks! Double checked and you're right - it's a 5 not an E - 15872 - so my recollection was wrong and it's a nineteen sixty three.

15872 would be 1964.

Oops - 1964 - thanks all!
