I need any info i can get on an old 14' sailing Kayak kit I picked up. I was told it is 50 or 60 years old. It apears to be covered in varnishrd cotton duc. it has wooden frame with shaped aluminum ribs. It has two hinged seat backs, a rope and pulley tiller rudder system. The lanteen rig goes on a mast(missing) that appeared to havebeen stepped to a hole on the point of thr cockpit cowling and held upright by a forstay and two stays to the outriggers. The keel is attached by whaat looks like door hinges. Yhe outrigers are wedge shaped and about 8' wide. does anyone have any idea what I've got? I'like some specs so I can restore it.
