Post by: Sophie (Guest) on 29 Feb 2012, 01:05
Not 1, not 2 but 3 different boats and designs ... for a taste of what the 12s will have at this year's dinghy show check out the article on yachts and yachting:

Thanks should go to Chris T. for pulling it together and Tim, Ian and Dave for their boats!
Hope to see you there!

Well done all those who have put the stand together. My wife/crew and I will see you there sometime on Saturday. We will be part of a considerable Chipstead SC group. N3535.

Since posting the foregoing and seeing the photos of the boats to be on display, I have realised that I am going to feel as if I have walked into history when I visit the stand. My first N12 was N1149, Jack Holt designed and built and a close follow-on from the 500 series and my present boat N3535 is a replica of David Peacock's. I shall have photos of my 1950s boat with me in case anyone is interested! Nigel Fordyce.
