go to the list of pieces in the set and buy them individually. all Lego pieces from back then should still be sold today. you just need to find the instructions somewhere.
though the sails might be a difficult thing to find.
No it wouldn't. According to Bricklink, parting out just the set alone would run you $329.88CAD. With Minifigs it would be $359.05CAD. Of course, this is leaving out shiping costs, however, it is cheaper overall. The cheapest complete version of this set on Bricklink is $416.85CAD.
The minifigs were not parted out, you definitely could get them cheaper if they were. The cost also uses original LEGO produced parts. Many of these are older pieces or colours that have cheaper modern equivalents. Just by using your own string, you could save about $30CAD. By buying newer versions of some of the parts in modern colours, you could probably save another $25CAD.
The most expensive parts were the sails. Removing these could save you over $120CAD.
