I was impressed with the simplicity of the swing board arrangement: Simple direct connection, no cables to break and few moving parts. It hinges on a cast aluminum block that is bolted to the fiber glass of the gunwhales.

I have a 1969 in fair shape. The rigging and sails are in good shape, though I had to make a new starboard shroud and repair a cam cleat.

Mine sat out in the weather for years without a cover. The guy had left the stern drain plug open but leaves clogged it and it must have had some standing water ...

I have a complete 1969 LS 16 with original rigging (or at least it looks what is shown in the diagrams on the manual I found on here).
I have photos of everything.

The old screws were steel and rusted nearly clean through. They looked like they might have been short wood screws. I don ...

I just bought an old Lone Star 16 and it is missing a few minor parts. The previous owner showed me how to set up the fixed rigging but he had a few things in error in the sailing rigging.

I figured out that the main sheet is intended to originate at a deadend eye strap on the boom, run through a ...

I'm a new Lone Star 16 owner and looking to find copies of all the original documentation that came with the boat. It is a 1969 model.
