Title: New member - looking for a N12
Post by: Skipper on 23 Jun 2009, 07:07
I am based in Cornwall, Helford River Sailing Club, I have been a dinghy sailor on / off for over 30 years and have been sailing a Laser recently, my daughter has shown interest to race with me and we borrowed an Enterprise and then a N12 this last weekend to race.
I am now looking for 2nd hand N12 !
I am 12 stone and my daughter is 4 stone, but when it is windy I will sail with a 11 stone crew!
To be sailed in Helford on the river / estuary, ideally an older double bottom
Any leads or advise would be greatly appreciated! 
Cheers
Stuart

There is a Crusader 88 for sale on the second hand boat list which is in Devon, so probably not too far from you!  Would be worth a look - I had an 88 and it was a lovely boat to sail.

Thanks for the note - I will take a look - what is the difference between a Crusader and a Crusader 88?
The boat I borrowed was a Crusader, no. 3247 Rascal
