Hi, I am new to this forum. Originally from Fleetwood Lancashire, after a break of about 45 years I have returned to model boat building. My previous attempt was a plywood cabin cruiser powered by a DC Sabre diesel motor but it was never quite finished after I had issues mounting the engine. University then life got in the way and it languished at my parent's place while I moved to Zambia and eventually to Australia. Last year I retrieved it and it now awaits some TLC while I sort out my shed. I have also recently acquired a vintage boat kit - SWM models Morecambe Bay Prawner - which appears complete but is missing its instructions and templates/rigging drawing. Any ideas where I could get replacements? The interest in the prawner stems from a family connection – my great grandfather owned a prawner at Fleetwood in the late 1800s. I have already PMd the poster of the 2011 thread about this model and this post is to hopefully broaden the search. Thanks Allan
