I stand corrected. I just found this:

$35 in 1947 for complete kit. Just wish the company was still in
business so I could order sailing kit which was lost over the years.

That's not a shell, that's a pram!

Anyway you could put a sailing rig on it from almost any small boat. For
simplicity I'd get the rig & daggerboard & rudder from something like a
Sabot or El Toro. The lug rig off a Nutshell Pram (also sold as a kit,
I'm sure they'd sell you the rig) might look good on it.

For excitement, get a Laser rig and put it on.

The hard part is going to be figuring out where to put the mast step &
partners, then getting them perfectly centered & aligned, then making
them strong enough. A kit from 1947 wouldn't help you with that part
anyway.

Thanks Doug. It is a pram but the model was called "Sea Shell".

The boat is rigged for sailing. Centerboard, rudder and mast step. I am
missing the mast and sails. I thought about using a sunfish rig but
that's too much sail. Somebody here at work mentioned Opti which appears
to be similar. I'm also going to look into a mirror dinghy setup as
there are a lot of them around here and I might find something used.
