I have bought N1954 off Andrew , I have repainted and varnished the hull and in the process of fitting the hull out with the original fittings where possible. I will be keeping her at Hornsea Mere ( East yorks ) . I am not a racer at the moment but am interested in vintage N12's having learnt to sail in a 1950's Holt N1030. I intend to use the original  mast and sails , but have a more modern mast and a Ullmans main c1989 and will be interested how she performs
