Marek...dont think its N3050 as that was last seen hanging in my garage roof.....yep just checked its still there!

Would be there but also no crew

Team Cheetham should be there, making a rare appearance. Might be best to have the air ambulance on standby;D

Now in my fleet since December 2006, only sailed her once so far, looking forward to getting to getting to grips.

Rebel was built during early 1983, Guy Winder supplied the materials for the mould as he was to take it over at a later date to build some professional boats. The mould was built in about two weeks and the shell took just over a week to construct.
The hull was de-keeled in 2002 and the boom replaced with a carbon one.

The mould.

The hull.

Decked

Moonchild was my second N12, constructed in early 1973. The intention was to exploit the  limits of the then double curvature rule to the maximum to produce a round bottom boat.
The section of the hull below the chine was formed with 4mm ply in conical sections to the bow and stern and was darted in the midsections to form four planks. This was then overlaid with 3mm ply.
She was quite fast inland and had some success on the open meeting circuit. In 1976 she was sold to a member a Yeadon SC and later sold on to Rhyll in North Wales where there was a N12 fleet at the time. Fate after that unknown.
