We picked up a Sunfish sail and Sailfish sail on ebay, and when they arrived we were pleasantly surprised to find out the Sailfish sail is for the smaller Alcort Standard Sailfish, 65 square feet versus the 75 square feet for the Sunfish sail and Super Sailfish sail.
Ratsey and Lapthorn had a sail loft on City Island for many years, wish they were still there, they did some amazing work. The cut and stitching are phenomenal.
We didn't notice at first but the sail is 4 panel vs the 5 panel cut of the Super Sailfish and Sunfish. It measures about a foot shorter along the luff and foot.
The 5 panel Super Sailfish sail, 75 square feet.
Quality bronze hardware.
Aout 4 1/2 inches of draft cut into the foot and 3 1/2 inches in the luff.
We'd like to know how they go so clean of a cut and perfect stitching.
Now we need a boat to go with it. Guess we need to draft up plans for a Standard Sailfish hull :)
