The life of N3384 Cunning Plan. Design: Final Chapter, designed by: Michael Jackson in 1987
3384 was originally built by Nigel Waller for Lesley Ross, a previous double championship winner. Lesley fitted the boat out himself, with a lot of help from Jeff O'Neil at the Welsh Harp Boat Centre (ie we all suspect that Jeff did it).
I bought the boat after about a year, and sailed it from 1994 until I bought my new Foolish in 1998 in the main crewed by my little sister. Lots of happy memories, it was pretty much the first 12 I ever won anything in! Almost the first time we raced it was to win Boxing Day at RHYC, that must have been in 1993.
The boat is now (2007) happily living in the North!

Cunning Plan has just moved to Skerries, near Dublin, Ireland. To the best of my knowledge, the only N12 here in Ireland. I am currently touching up her varnish and hope to have her sailing very soon. She has already had many admirers!
