I am looking for the lines of any of the more recent 12 meter boats. Does
anyone know of a source for these.
I have written to S&S but haven't
received a reply.

That's like writing to Ferrari and asking for specs of their engines - you
won't get a reply.

Best bet is to study photos, and build something close. you don't want to
use
the exact lines for a model anyway, as they will not work well at a much
smaller scale.

I dunno. 12m are pretty obsolete as racing yachts nowadays. Did you have a
look at Olin Stephens autobio? "All This and Sailing, Too"? Might have some
lines of older 12m's.

When I was working at Farr Yacht Design, we would release lines for model
builders for boats considered obsolete (i.e. a few year old IMS racers,
etc.). We never would release modern AC boat lines but could did have a
special set of Volvo 60 (ex Whitbread) lines that were "massaged" for model
builders.
