Foxi is still going strong, sailing at Earlswood Lakes SC, although she is starting to show her age now. I carried out a fairly major repair on parts of the hull during summer 2016 as well as a re-paint and re-varnish and she lasted well through 2017, most recently sailing in the club boxing day race. Foxi is predominantly set up to single hand or sail with my youngest 'crewing'. Still quick at the club in lighter winds and great fun with my youngest daughter.

We also own and sail N3522 at Earlswood SC but the lack of water in the lake after late June  meant that sailing the 12's was somewhat curtailed during 2017.

Let's see what 2018 brings  :D

Still sailing at Earlswood Lakes SC, although not much water during 2017 after early July so 'The Woozle' only sailed from Spring to early Summer :( and then had to make do with a Laser!

The photo was taken during early April when we had a decent wind and a full lake.

I bought N12 3522 September 2015 and brought her up to Earlswood Lakes SC in Birmingham. Made a few modifications and a name change - 'The Woozle'! Racing very regularly and winning a several races. My eldest daughter (13) is crewing for me and has recently started to helm as well. We also sail N12 2930 'Foxi' although Foxi is now needing a fairly major refurbishment, scheduled for this summer at home on our drive!

We'll try to upload a few picture in due course (no promises) :)
