LIFE Magazine put Alcort Sailboats on the map in 1949 when they published a photo article about the Standard Sailfish. At the time Alcort had sold just over 100 boats, sales took off and they built thousands of wooden and fiberglass sailboats into the 1980s. The Sailfish was phased out in the 1970s and their iconic Sunfish is still being built today by Laser Performance.
