<P>Rummy, </P>
<P> You are right. I should not have gotten this boat as my first. I said I had little knowledge of sailboats not little knowledge. I can tell you this much... with a few pictures and some sketches I could build anything from junk parts. I am not McGuiver, but if I could see it....up close and in detail, I could build one.<BR><BR>P.S The only reason I have this boat is because it was a freebie; and I downloaded and read the manual for the Chrysler...pretty remarkable for a company no longer in business huh?</P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>The owners manual is NOT copyrighted. It is readily available to be copied
<DIV></DIV>and sent privately, for private use. However, I think if someone were to make
<DIV></DIV>copies and sell them, that would be a different story.
<DIV></DIV>Another thought, perhaps buying such an old boat, in it's present condition
<DIV></DIV>for someone with little or no knowledge, was not the best choice for a first
<DIV></DIV>boat.
<DIV></DIV>That being said, any questions you want answered will be addressed by list
<DIV></DIV>members. They are a very tolerant and knowledgeable group, just be patient
<DIV></DIV>and you too will be sailing a wonderful craft. Try finding an owners manual
<DIV></DIV>for a Chrysler sailboat sometime. At least our manufacturer is still in
<DIV></DIV>business......as of my last visit to Edenton. :) Sometimes a little cranky
<DIV></DIV>when people want something for nothing, but I kinda like him like that.
<DIV></DIV>Speaking of being in business. I have recently passed two large sailboat
<DIV></DIV>manufacturing plants in my travels. Normally you would find many hulls about
<DIV></DIV>the yard in various stages of construction or simply waiting for shipping.
<DIV></DIV>Neither yard had ANY boats to be seen. Must be tough to be a boat builder
<DIV></DIV>these days.
