[quote=ntoa]The life of N2018 Starminx. Design: Starfish, designed by: Mike Nokes in 1961 Previous boat names: Hiawatha, Ladywell II, Starminx, Starcurse, prior to reverting to Starminx.” This used to be my boat back in the late 60s, which I sailed at Trent Sailing Club at Farndon, Notts. (now defunct) and at Blakeney in North Norfolk. When we bought her, she was a pretty conventional Starfish, but then my father got to work on her, and installed a bow tank, side tanks and a narrow rolled gunwale. I kept her until I left home to go to University; unfortunately, I've not sailed 12s since then (especially nowadays - at 6'6" I could get away with this in my teens, but nowadays the passing of the years has added commensurate weight and I need something much bigger and ideally with a keel!). |

Sorry - tried adding an old photo but it seems to have left a broken image rather than the photo itself. Picture of Starminx in Blakeney Harbour circa 1967 can be found at http://www.poundlane.net/Sailing/Starminx |
