Need help identifying a wooden sailing rig.

I have a wooden sailing rig that I believe was built for an Old Town Canoe. It is in great shape and I would like help identifying what it is and what canoes it would fit. Can someone suggest what information I need to have in order to make this identification and what source I might go to to do so.

Thanks,

CharlieH

Break in the weather. Time to make pictures.

Warm enough and dry enough to spread the rig on the lawn and take a few photos and measurements. In the process found a logo that says it is an OT rig, Mast is 80", booms are 136" and appear to be made of sitka. Dagger boards are 44" x 9".
Rudder assembly is 29" long. Rudder and dagger boards look to be mahogany. Sail is Dacron I think. Not cotton anyway. The leech is 144" and sail along the booms is 127". If I remember my Heroes formula correctly that would make the sail area in the neighborhood of 53 square feet. Pictures attached. Thanks Benson, Denis, and pklonowski for your responses,
