Per a previous string, I am attaching a PDF of the original manual from my boat.  It's an interesting relic of possibly early (1980s) word-processing technology with numerous (quaint) typos.  Even though it has an interesting selection of topics (left wondering sometimes why one thing was included and not another), it also has some great info.  For example: Under "VII. How to Get the Best of Your Boat; A. Sail Trim", pp 12-14, there is some great stuff on the unique wind dynamics and mainsail trimming of the Kelt 7.60 as well as a bit of a primer on sail trimming in general.  (Notice the alignment typos in the pg 14 trimming guidelines per wind speed.  Ah yes, 1980s word processing technology [smile].)  

At the beginning of the manual, the Intro Letter and Sect I. "Your New Kelt Arrives" are a nostalgic look back at a different time in the sailboat manufacturing and market era.  The manual may be a good reference point to any discussions as well.  Enjoy! - David Wysocki, "Moon Chaser" - Frenchman's Bay, Lake Ontario, Pickering ON.
