Greetings all,
I have been the proud owner of N1440, a Mark 6 from 1956, since around 1993.  I bought her (for £40) in a sorry state as a project for my kids, we replaced numerous planks and the decks and had a lot of fun with her.  The kids have grown up, I have grown old and she is again in a very sad state.  She has the sails, rigging, centreplate and rudder that came with her.  I have a launching trolley but no trailer (she is on a double-deck trailer I built which also carries a 14' rowing dinghy).  Just in case anyone wants to take on a labour of love, she can be collected from near Norwich.
