Misty Martha was my second Twelve which I finished from a Wyche & Coppock shell in 1970. When first sailed I had a Stainless Steel Spars mast of small section which was like cooked spaghetti and depowered the mainsail in anything above force one. I changed to a Proctor C section with stern sheeting and the boat started to tramp. We had a good week at Whitstable in 1971. ;)
