Hi
Although it is quite enjoyable working out the best way to use the many blocks, cleats and lines, it occurs to me that when the Swift 18 was released in the 80's, it must have been sold with a User Guide of some kind, taking any new owners through the setting up, adjusting and trailing etc. Has anyone come across such a document. Although all the main items are straight forward, there are some halyards, boom cleats and lines, deck blocks and fairleads not used. It would be really helpful to see a guide showing how the designers intended the boat to be rigged and sailed.
Any information on this rigging will be appreciated.
Thanks
Pompey

Sorry to the rain on the parade but as one of the few original owners around SO16 from new when it came to “setting up” there was no user manual it was very much “learn as you go” there was a typed note on how & what to use to clean the boat but that was about it.
