We had the hull built by Parker Boats and finished by David Proctor who built Bouncer amongst other boats.
Owned by myself Mark Barnes, but working aboard the boat was sailed little and was based at Whitstable Yacht Club until sold to Ian Emery in approx. 1985. Very quick in breeze but stuck in the lighter airs. Great shape but the rig of the N12 was not powerful enough to overcome the large wetted surface area. Times have moved on and with the newer rigs and lighter weight crews, the boat may be more competitive now.
