Umm, I will try to find out mate.

I think my Dad will know. I'll ask him.

He has a few sets, here's some pics of one set









That is a complete set, restored

LMAO, so true.

And there isn't any sails in the box.

Ripped off.

Hey, it shows kids on the box, but don't think there were any in there when Dad bought it
