I completely agree and reiterate what Chris said.
Without other peoples generosity to help others, apart from those skilled enough to draw their own from pictures etc(which I certainly cannot do), we would all be stuck.

So, thank you Eraser and anyone else involved.

Looks like the Lesro models are certainly having a resurgence! 👍

Thanks to Eraser for the loan of the Stiletto plan.

Lesro Sportsman II

I bought a Sportsman kit cheaply off Ebay just before I left UK for SA in 2009 - it turned out to be a box of bits & instructions in an unmarked box - lots seemed to be missing but no way of checking as the instructions had obviously got wet and were unreadable for the most part. It had obviously been started & been dismantled ! Would have complained & returned it but from SA a few months later its was well nigh impossible.
I am currently working on reconstructing a lift off superstructure version of the Lesro Stilleto which Chris found a plan for & had scanned but would really like a Sportsman for myself - lived in Bournemouth so visited the Lesro shop often for bits & pieces - wanted a few of their kits then but sadly hobby funds would not allow that.
Hoping someone on the Forum will help with a plan to allow me to cut new parts and actually build it.

That would be brilliant. Many thanks.

Hi MBest

It is described as a Sportsman MkII, but I think the only variation on the original is the addition of the flying bridge. I do actually have the plans for the bridge, but that is all. Photos of the box attached.

Is this the Big Game Fishing boat that you have? Can you post a pic?

Hi Mbest, I'm afraid I can't help with the plans/instructions, but wanted to wish you good luck in finding what you need and to say that the Lesro models are nice boats.
I have a Sportsman as well, but the Mk1 version, bought as a project in need of a little bit of work(as per all of my boats), mainly modernising though.

Please keep us updated with any progress.

Over 20 years ago I bought a Lesro Sportsman II kit, the one with the flying bridge, started but never finished. Having now retired, I am hoping to finish the boat but I have lost the instructions and plans. Can anyone help me with replacements?I am happy to pay for copying and postage.
