Since the wooden Alcort hulls had a new home, we decided to reunite them with their rudders and daggerboards.
1953 Alcort Sailfish 12 WINNIE. Later called the Standard Sailfish. The daggerboard on the far left, bottom, is her original 31 inch daggerboard. We upgraded her to a 39 inch board from a 1965 fiberglass Sunfish, and she tracks and tacks better as a result.
1953 wooden Alcort Sunfish ZIP. Her upgraded daggerboard is from the 1980s, a larger and longer "Barrington" board developed by the Barrington Frostbiters, and she sails better with a 1960s era spoon tip rudder. Also in the photo are the rudder and leeboards for our 1960s Grumman 17 SCOUT.

Since we cleaned off some wall space in LEWIS BOAT WORKS, we hung up the Christmas yard art.
Current state of the tool trollies.
It's April!
