i will post some pictures after relooking!
We (Paul and Sally Benwell) owned 3125 from 1982. We bought her from Whitstable and renamed her as National Crisis. We sailed her around open meetings for the three seasons 1982 (Burton Week that year was in Weymouth, we came 15th!), 1983 (Burton Week Llandudno), 1984 (Paignton). We were members at Wraysbury Lake Sailing Club, which didn't have a 12 fleet, but was our home club. We have loads of old photos, will post them soon! once our family were older we bought another 12 but it was not as beautiful as the Tigress!
relooking finish and sailing in west of France at Noirmoutier en ile!
so much pleasure!
