Looking for instruction booklet in English for Charles W Morgan ship kit by Artisania Latina as the kit I purchased is in Italian.

Please forgive me, but are you sure it's an AL kit?
What is the kit number?
I'm asking because you can download instructions for their old kits from their web site, but they don't even list it on the site.

Sure it's not Model Shipways?

It is certainly AL but they don't have instructions any more for kit No 601.

i just got on AL site and did a chat about your instruction book. thay say its discontinued and nothing is available anymore. but alex recomended this solution...

"don't have any confirmed information on reference 601 in our current catalog or documentation.

For discontinued models such as the Charles Morgan Whaler, the most reliable way to check for old instructions is to write to web@artesanialatina.net and include the model name along with the reference number 601. They will be able to look into whether any remaining documentation is still accessible."

How about taking screenshots of the pages in Italian and have google translate it. I would think you’d get close to what you need.

EXCELENT IDEA!

AL have requested the instructions I have which by the way are in Spanish and they will translate into English for me. Wonderful reply so I should be sorted soon.

I had to translate Italian to English using Google Translate in order to translate both Vincenzo Lusci's book and Corel's instructions and tables to build La Couronne. It takes time, but after a while you learn enough terms Italian to read drawing and tables in Italian. It would be nice to scan the text you want to translate, have the computer perform character recognition of the text, then copy that text into a Google Translate, and make a copy of the instructions in your native language for ease of use before you even begin building.
