The Flying Fish, introduced in the late 1960s by the Alcort division of AMF, was designed to bridge the gap between the minimalist, boardstyle Sunfish and more traditional family daysailers. At 14 feet in length, it represented a significant evolution for designers Alexander Bryan and Cortlandt Heyniger, who sought to apply the simplicity of the lateen rig to a more substantial hull with a proper cockpit. While the Sunfish achieved global ubiquity, the Flying Fish was positioned as the "gentleman’s" alternative—offering more stability, a higher dryweight capacity, and a "sitin" rather than "siton" experience that appealed to families and older sailors.
