I completely agree and reiterate what Chris said.
Without other peoples generosity to help others, apart from those skilled enough to draw their own from pictures etc(which I certainly cannot do), we would all be stuck.
So, thank you Eraser and anyone else involved.

Far too many projects, nowhere near enough time or skill!
Looks like the Lesro models are certainly having a resurgence! 👍
Thanks to Eraser for the loan of the Stiletto plan.

I bought a Sportsman kit cheaply off Ebay just before I left UK for SA in 2009 - it turned out to be a box of bits & instructions in an unmarked box - lots seemed to be missing but no way of checking as the instructions had obviously got wet and were unreadable for the most part. It had obviously been started & been dismantled ! Would have complained & returned it but from SA a few months later its was well nigh impossible.
I am currently working on reconstructing a lift off superstructure version of the Lesro Stilleto which Chris found a plan for & had scanned but would really like a Sportsman for myself - lived in Bournemouth so visited the Lesro shop often for bits & pieces - wanted a few of their kits then but sadly hobby funds would not allow that.
Hoping someone on the Forum will help with a plan to allow me to cut new parts and actually build it.

It is described as a Sportsman MkII, but I think the only variation on the original is the addition of the flying bridge. I do actually have the plans for the bridge, but that is all. Photos of the box attached.

Is this the Big Game Fishing boat that you have? Can you post a pic?

Hi Mbest, I'm afraid I can't help with the plans/instructions, but wanted to wish you good luck in finding what you need and to say that the Lesro models are nice boats.
I have a Sportsman as well, but the Mk1 version, bought as a project in need of a little bit of work(as per all of my boats), mainly modernising though.
Please keep us updated with any progress.

Over 20 years ago I bought a Lesro Sportsman II kit, the one with the flying bridge, started but never finished. Having now retired, I am hoping to finish the boat but I have lost the instructions and plans. Can anyone help me with replacements?I am happy to pay for copying and postage.
