The life of N3496 Flipside. Design: Numinous, designed by: Bim Daser in 2001

Flipside is our current boat - my 12th 12 - built in carbon by Brett Dingwall in a shed just off the M25 in Hertfordshire over the winter of 2004-05, and the boat is a complete joy.  The mast is by Chipstow, the board by Kevin Driver and Kevan made the sails. So far in two seasons we've done a load of open meetings around the Thames area and beyond, and a Salcombe Week, and have won more in this boat than any other we have sailed.  Numinouses are devlilishly quick in light airs and I'm at a loss as to why more haven't been built.
