<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You are right.&nbsp; I should not have gotten this boat as my first.&nbsp;&nbsp; I said I had little knowledge of sailboats&nbsp; not little knowledge.&nbsp;&nbsp;I can tell you this much... with a few pictures and some sketches I could build anything from junk parts.&nbsp; I am not McGuiver, but if I could see it....up close&nbsp;and in detail,  I could build one.<BR><BR>P.S&nbsp; The only reason I have this boat is because it&nbsp;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.
