Old Town Sailing Canoe

[ChattahoocheeJim]

I just bought an Old Town sailing canoe. It has the mast and sail (such as it is), but it has no leeboards or rudder.
Old Town tells me they no longer make the parts, and further, have no drawings for them.
Are drawings available somewhere, or good pictures? I could make these parts myself if I knew where to start.
Thanks for any direction that might be helpful.

You may want to take a look at the message at http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?t=969 and spend some time reviewing http://forums.wcha.org/forumdisplay.php?f=10 for more sailing canoe information. The pages at http://www.dragonflycanoe.com/otacc/ and http://www.dragonflycanoe.com/dcwfs2.htm also have some good background. Feel free to reply here if that doesn't answer your questions.

Thank you very much. That's exactly what I was looking for. Much appreciated.

Computer challenged

Try as I might, I cannot print the whole of some, most, of the attachments on your referenced article. I have the leeboard sketch. I have the stern of the canoe, but no rudder appears. I get half the tables. Stupid me.
I just cannot reformat these things.
It seems like such useful data, I hate not to have it in its totality. Hate to ask more of you. Is there any way you could format them so they could be printed whole?
Dragonfly reference was extremely helpful.
I probably have sufficient information to restore this canoe, but always seek certainty.
Your help has been most generous.
Jim
