This is infact a foam sandwich boat as well I would know i own it. Great boat to sail a few minor glitches but that's because i'm fairly new to this 12 lark  :) if any one wants anymore info on the boat my e-mail address is georgesmith95@hotmail.co.uk

I am a previous owner of 3434 having bought it from the builder James ? and despite its number 3434 is a AC boat with a rear tank.  I believe the design is a slightly modified Baggy and has 'bumps' as the waterline is slightly narrow.

Un-named when I bought her I called 3434 'Outlandish Words'.

Trivia corner - I was told the original blue paint was left over from the ill fated catamaran 'Phillips'

First measured on 6.12.1999.

Tha hull was built by Chris Semple out of the Cheshire Dinghy & Dive mould, having sat around for a while Peter Bennett of Saltash bought the shell and decked it off in I believe DML, Pete was working for Chay Blyth's Challegne Business then. The speed bumps were put on in my garage when I measured her and found the rise of floor out!

The sails with the green N were the originals bought s/hand from P&B
