Owners manual for 1988 MC scow?

I just bought a 1988 MC scow today in pretty good shape. I've been searching all over the internet looking for an owners manual to see how to rig the boat. The previous owner hadn't sailed her in quite awhile and couldn't figure out how to attach the vang, cunnigham or outhaul where they come out of the deck by the mast. Also the bungee cord has snapped on the bilge boards and I have no idea how they are suppose to be rigged?
Any help would definitely be appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Steve

Go to: Home ---> classes ----> MC Scow, ,,,, then simply follow the links for owners groups, racing venues, etc. etc. ILYA.org is the 'home organization' for ALL the different SCOW classes.

Also MC - Scow .... the then follow the LEFT sideboard for info, etc. There are also sanctioned MC regattas in Tx (Rush Creek YC, Heath,Tx .... Rush Creek Yacht Club - Home) .... so you may also be near an 'active' fleet as an active fleet is the 'best' place to get help/info, etc.

Enjoy your MC.
Ive been sailing scows since the late 60s (M16s,M20,I20,E,A) - you never get tired of sailing 'scows' !!!!!!!!!! GREAT boats.

I have looked at all those sites and there is allot of good information to be had but no pictures/instruction on how to rig the boat or how things work. Especially how the bilge boards are attached and operate. As far as I know no one around here sails or knows anything about this particular boat. I was sure the seller would give me some good instructions but he seemed totally clueless as well I am hoping to rig the boat tomorrow and possibly sail it Tuesday. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
