Wooden Alcort Sunfish Plans Coming Soon

 11 May 22:

As we begin to resurface after our recent move, interest is peaking in the wooden Alcort Sunfish plans. I am starting to make a pile of reference material that will be used to develop the plans. We will use drawings similar to those found on vintage Sunfish and Sailfish plans.

Note: These measurements are not for a Sunfish, but the frame design is similar. Start sourcing you marine grade 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch plywood now, and some 3/4 inch by 6 inch hardwood (oak, mahogany or cypress).

All the info needed for the wooden Alcort Sunfish is right here, it just needs to be transferred to paper in a legible and understandable format.

These are from the 2 page Super Sailfish plans. I'll use the same format, put in wooden Alcort Sunfish numbers, and also enlarge each component so a magnifying glass will not be needed to read the measurements...as time is carved out from multiple other competing projects...

Here are measurements for the new style rudder (1971 and later). The boat sails better with this rudder than the original tiny blade. I'd suggest you make this out of mahogany while waiting for hull measurements.

Here are the vintage rudder and daggerboard specs, if you must. But the boat sails better with a 39 inch daggerboard and new style rudder shape (1971 and later). So if you can't decide, make both :)
