She was built at Robertsons of Sandbank who are now defunct.
I believe that Dr Jeremey Thomson was a crew member in her original days and may be able to provide more info. He was the GP in Tighnabruaich and still lives in the village.
Good Luck

Berthon Boatyard at Lymington did some of the work to adapt her for cruising and might have some records.
I think the mast was moved before then, though.
It was good to see Sceptre at Troon last Spring... was the buckling the problem then? There seemed to be a lot of activity below as she sat on the hammerhead.

It might be worth tracking down the original owners.I think they might have been the Goodson family in Dartmouth.

Contact the Maritime Museum at Greenwich. They have lots of plans. I got the sail plan for my father's boat from them - cost about £15

Don't actually know, but..
Drawn by David Boyd wasn't she? Google finds: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/nra/searches/codocs.asp?CR=B6518
says that (some?) records of both Boyd and Robertsons held by the Argyll and Bute Council - you might get lucky!
Otherwise, maybe try Fairlie Restoratios in the Hamble - they probably have experience of tracing plans. Or try the National Maritime Museum?
