Rigging a Flying Cloud No. 162 Seaworthy Boats (Jocrim Mfg, Boston, MA c1930)

I have an unrigged Flying Cloud Pond Boat purchased in a Cape Cod Antique Shop in 1999. I believe the mast and spreaders are original, but the remainder of the rigging was a very bad attempt at restoration (mostly string and dowels with an attempt to use canvas for the sails) by someone who was clearly not a sailor. I have been searching for a standing and especially running rigging diagram. It seems that Seaworthy boats are very rare because I have been unable to find more than a handful of pictures, all lacking sufficient detail to show how the mainsheets are lead. I have included a picture of the tiller. The elastic was something that I had temporarily rigged to see if I could reverse-engineer the mainsheet path. Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
