The Cape Dory Board

The Boat (1984) Typhoon went in the water today and took it's first sail. I noticed that a pulley from the boom sheet had disappeared and now I need to restore it to workable condition. Question: Where can I find a clear picture/sketch of the boom sheet? Any help would be appreciated. Wow about a ph...

I was trying to close the ball valves (no seacocks) on this boat, but they don't turn at all. I tried turning them firmly and they still didn't move. Reading several...
