The life of N2135 Foggy Dew. Design: Sparklet, designed by: Leslie Landamore in 1962
I bought N2135 from a doctor, J R Hansen, in Cambridge in about 1967/8, sailed at Pitsford (Northampton SC) when it had an active N12 class and Dr Dan Miller, a 12 sailor, was the Commodore and sold it to a gentleman near Market Harborough in 1971. I had a GP14 damage the transom whilst I owned the boat and the repairs were carried out by Wyche & Coppock in Nottingham. The first owner, the doctor, had a reasonably successful club racing career with N2135 and it was a very sensative sail.
With 2135 the doctor won the Scarborough Yacht Club Salver at Torquay in 1964 in Burton Cup Week.
Would be very interested to know if this dinghy comes up for sale. Please call me on 0778 686 6099.
Brian Herring kindly phoned me to say that he had owned this dinghy a few years ago after getting it for free from Banbury Sailing Club but the work needed was too great and it's now in Manchester as a garden ornament.
Now with my interest in vintage 12s and this being my first I'd have totally rebuilt it.
