Purchased 'Party Time' from John on 5th May after a 10 minute sail, she is a lovely boat. Her home club is now Staines Sailing Club.

I bought N12 3522 September 2015 and brought her up to Earlswood Lakes SC in Birmingham. Made a few modifications and a name change - 'The Woozle'! Racing very regularly and winning a several races. My eldest daughter (13) is crewing for me and has recently started to helm as well. We also sail N12 2930 'Foxi' although Foxi is now needing a fairly major refurbishment, scheduled for this summer at home on our drive!
We'll try to upload a few picture in due course (no promises) :)
Still sailing at Earlswood Lakes SC, although not much water during 2017 after early July so 'The Woozle' only sailed from Spring to early Summer :( and then had to make do with a Laser!
The photo was taken during early April when we had a decent wind and a full lake.
