I had an 8 foot pram kit boat that my father built with an optional sailing rig. I was checking on another boat at the Mariners Museum once and I asked about the sailing kit. They confirmed the plans were an available option for the 8 foot pram. It's the boat I learned to sail and row in and my 88 year old father still rows it regularly. The sailing rig hasn't been used since the 70's but as far as I know its still in the rafters of the garage.
