General National 12 chat / Re: Types of sail
Last post by John m - 09 Dec 2022, 10:53Sailing on the river I would go for Dacron. It lasts longer and I think is easier to read. It lasts longer as the laminates on a Mylar sail will shrink at different rates. I think this outweighs having a lighter laminate sail. For the river I would go for a flat cut. [Interestingly a laminate, if you go that way, when shrinking will likely become flatter too. It will hold its design shape very well initially but will then turn into a bit of a car crash...]

Boats / Re: N2551 Brigitte
Last post by edwillett - 27 Nov 2022, 10:14For sale on social media November 2022. Lovely to see an Impact still surviving! Located in Port Talbot, Wales advert reads -
Sadly looking to pass on to the next custodians. Ideally in the class! Bridgett 2551, a 1970 National 12, won many trophies and has a great history, all included. We are the 2nd owners of this boat and underwent a full restoration this summer (2022), Re rigged this year, has 3 jibs, two mains, a wooden whisker pole, trolly and lots of spares. All original except the new running lines and control lines. She's set up to be class legal for the vintage class.
Please feel free to ask questions!
All offers welcomed!

General National 12 chat / Types of sail
Last post by Tom HIll - 11 Nov 2022, 05:57Hi,
I'm currently looking into a long overdue replacement for the sails on my Design 8. Looking at P&B's website I'm slightly daunted by the array of options so would be great to get some advice on what is most suitable. In addition to the Dacron/Laminate choice the laminate itself seems to come as either radial, ODL06 and ODL04 all of which in turn give a choice of full or flat cut. I mainly sail at Twickenham so will mostly be dealing with light, fluky winds with more wind above tree height so guessing lighter material with more roach at the top is useful. Any thoughts on the different options offered would be great.

General National 12 chat / Re: Covers?
Last post by David Sanderson - 07 Nov 2022, 06:25New cover arrived today 
Did a bit of internet poking and looked at other boats covers in the dinghy park.
Trident marine do a custom fit cover - so I contacted them as the lower shrouds were a problem for the existing one. A few emails a some photos and they have made a good job of it:
an extended shroud opening angled to allow for the lowers and the shroud blocks.
Overall really happy with the fit.
