Here's an Alcort ad from the late 1950s. Alcort had the best ads and they were very smart in setting up dealerships across the country. This ad appeared out on the West coast, where it is a challenge to find warm waters suitable for a Sailfish. One interesting note is that early on the folks having fun in the Alcort ads were company employees. And we can testify that the sailing techniques used in this photo are one way to keep a Sailfish upright. Note that there is very little wind.
It is said that the Sailfish is "the boat you learn to swim on."
