My wife often roams antique shops, saw this old kit for $30, and brought it home! Who knows if I'll live long enough to play with it. Only significant part missing is the short ply aft deck, which I think I can reproduce from the copies from the plans.

 

The plans. The original sheet for the rigging is there, but there are only copies ( and incomplete, at that ) of the other sheet. Here's a photo of the copies placed in position.

Question: Are the missing sections worth having to complete the build? The instruction booklet is intact.

 

Thanks!

Brian, I have plans for the AL Swift. They show they were printed in 1993.

 

I would say based on what you have in the picture you may not have everything needed.

There is an assembly guide with pictures, then there is the parts list, and then a sheet for the rigging and sails. Seems like you are missing allot of that.

Hi Kevin.

 

If you have a guide with pictures from 1993, sounds like it may be the newer version. Mine has 1982 on the box and the parts list includes no illustrated guide.
