General National 12 chat / Insurance!?
09 Dec 2011, 09:55
Hi all is there anyone inparticular who you all tend to insure with?

Woundered who was best with development classes. Reckon most would quible if breaking a £1000 winged rudder and how to justify to them. New for old also.

Thanks Ali

Hi All
Having been out the fantastic hobbie for 2 years now i am planning my return. I am thinking about buying a good spec 12 in the very near future to sail with my wife and my brother in law on the very extreme of days on the sea!
I have never owned or helmed a 12 before but they are the only boat that tick most boxed for me having come from a fairly extreme boat background. Owned RS800, Int Moth, Rs600, 700 and last boat a 400 with the wife but two light in all honistly.

After some advice re the best optium weight and and best design for the sea. Me and the wife combined weigh 23st but i know mine will drop again once sailing. as for with the brother in law will be around 26st, is this to heavy for any 12 evan in heavy winds?

All advice apreciated.  Thanks Alistair (Popeye)

Hi all
I am interested in the 12 and have been for many years now. I sail in the channel and wanted your advice on which design of 12 is best suited to sea sailing out of the double bottom boats.
helm/crew = 20 1/2 stone
All advice would be gratefull and Iam sorry if this question been asked many times before.
Cheers Popeye
