Alumacraft Alpax
Description
The Alumacraft Alpax is a vintage 14-foot fiberglass sailboat from the late 1960s, produced under the Alumacraft/Alpex branding during a brief period when Alumacraft (primarily known for aluminum fishing boats) ventured into fiberglass sailboats via the Alpex Corporation (which acquired parts of Alumacraft in the early 1960s). It's a compact daysailer or board boat, similar in concept to the Alumacraft S-12 you asked about earlier—lightweight, simple, and designed for casual lake/pond sailing, beginner use, or beach launching. These were affordable, car-toppable classics with basic rigging, often featuring a gunter or similar rig for easy setup. The Alpax appears to be one of the larger or variant models in that short-lived fiberglass sailboat lineup (late 1960s), with a focus on fun, no-frills performance rather than serious racing or cruising.
