Has anyone ever fitted wings to a N12? The ones you sit on that go out of the side, not the ones you put on the rudder/centreboard

Not with it still being a N12. Outriggers are not in class :)

I would have to get a special handicap. This will be for single handed sailing anyway, so I don't have hike with my dodgy knees!
