    What a fabulous story. Will you totally restore the boat or only part of it?

    It is a very nice model boat. It is not a Soling. The "Soling" is a one-design class. The configuration is very different. Enjoy!

    Hi, thank you for looking. This is the "Wood Kit" #1133. It is miss-titled as the "Fittings Kit". I have the "Wood Kit". I too saw it on the USA eBay.

    This picture of the Atlantis shows exactly how the instructions/plans call for the loop system to control the sails.

    The plans do show the center divider of the drum removed. I don't know why they want it removed. Other than the loop is less likely to foul?

    It is a smooth drum needed between the outer flanges where the line winds. I do not want the drum to have 2 sections for this purpose, as it comes from the factory.
    I want to retain the center of the drum where it attaches to the servo.

    How can I remove the center of the Winch Pulley? I want a smooth drum with just the outside flanges.

    It is the second-most-raced under the American Model Yacht Associationโ€”number one is the Soling 1 Meter.

    I am going to plank a deck. The wood is teak. The hull where the deck is to be attached is made of plastic. The instructions specify CA but not the viscosity. What should I use, i.e., thin or a thicker variety?

    For replacement switches, did you try Mouser, Allied Electronics, Newark electronics or Antique Radio Supply.
    Can you transfer the pcb to a different switch?

    One by FlySky would be a good one. It's programmable. It has storage for multiple models. The receivers are tiny.

    There is solder and flux for aluminium. It has a low temperature melting point. It can be obtained in small quantities. It is frequently used to connect the wires inside stereo headphones.
    Good Luck
