General National 12 chat / too polish or not too polish?
16 Sep 2006, 07:41
that is the question...
ive got a design 8 which when i got it, it was yellow, ive cleaned her up as it looked a mess, i have polished her and she looks good shiney, but over the years i have heard that boats that are polished are slower and wet and dry is the way to go,
i will put it this way! i am not of a ability that it would matter but i would be interested what people think

General National 12 chat / what the strangest way you have won a race?
28 Aug 2006, 10:36
just a tread to get a funny story or two!
what is the strangest way you have ever won a race???
mine was a few years ago, i was sailing lightning 368 at a local regatta, it was blowing to the extent that your head would blow off your pint, well there were two of us in our start as everyone had wimped out, quite rightly so looking back now. just before the gun went the other boat capsized. so the gun sounded and of i went on the run (we started on a run), i was flying so quickly i couldnt control the boat properly not to mention being able to see jack because of the spray, well i had gone about 250yard bang in i went, deathrolled and thrown from boat, the boat drifted off and i ended up swiming probably near on half a mile untill i caught it lodged firmly in the mud. i was rescued.
they presented me the prize for being the only boat to cross the starting line. got a bottle of whiskey, result

General National 12 chat / mast rams???????
14 Jun 2006, 05:39
hello,
some of you may know me, but when it comes too 12's, im fine with the basic's, but anything more than a jib sheet then i can be snookered, like now,,,
my boat used to have a mast ram, but it now looks like the raking of my mast is done by rope, as there are a load of pulleys under the foredeck just infront of the mast, the rope goes up2 the side deck to cleets, there is no apparant use for all this rope, apart from raking my mast, but i dont know how it connects to the mast, etc, maybe some of you can shead some light
