Can anyone advise me where I can obtain copies of owners manual's, rigging diagrammes etc? ( circ 1976)Also, any ideas on where I can obtain spare parts in the future?
As far as I'm aware there was no owner's manual supplied with Reedcraft Boats, i.e. one's of your vintage. Certainly, I don't recall my father's boat, bought new in 1973, being supplied with more than the promotional paperwork that you on the the site.
Nor are there any rigging diagrams, beyond those posted on the site. I have a slightly 1:16 version of the one showing the sail plan posted at:
http://www.seahawk17.org.uk/reviews/yw.htm#sailThe one thing missing from that image is that fact that the top of the mast should be raked backwards by 6". Also, take a look at my answer under the "Shroud Length" subject in the Help Desk section of the forum.
There are no suppliers of the main or subsidiary mouldings, and some, if not all, the moulds are known to be destroyed. Much, if not all, the specialist bright steel work was originally supplied by Marine Weld of North Walsham. The company still has drawings of some of the components and has supplied such items as tabernacles and trailers in recent years. What spares do you have in mind?
