None of the sailboats I've owned had manuals. The GB32 woodie had an awesome manual in a binder with gold lettering, really classy. The marine trader, a smelly box of manuals for stuff that was no longer on the boat - the smell of wood rot and holding tank all.the manuals has was in alignment with the price. The 86 Bayliner "beater boat" came with a manual - same manual for every model they built that year.
The cutest manual I have seen is the one that came with a friends late sixties era pacemaker, complete with a section for "the wife" (how to clean everything) and ten pages of factory photos assuring the owner that the thing was built like a tank - which it is...
