Is Nutmeg the fastest 12 in the North??(not on the water)
Having just left the Tate Winter event, and driving for abot 5 miles I joined the A1 and as I passed the metro Center there was a loud bang.
Imagine my disbelief when Nutmeg appeard in the ouside lane of the A1 doing about 45mph by herself,Sparks flew from the trailer,I breaked and she pulled in infront of me coming to rest in the inside lane inside infront of me!!!!!!!.
A quick check revealed no damage to either boat or car.
I hitched up again, properly this time and went home!.
I got away very very fortunately and I think I will double check the hitch in the future.

Shes for sale on ebay.....

I have just got round to putting this on, This was her first launch after overhaul at YOSC.

I think I have figured out how to compress photos!
Had first sail in her at Ripon very pleased with her looking forward to Newcastle next week.

On the cost of dyneema I have just bought from e bay 20m of 4mm for £10.20 inc postage, go to sporting goods - sailing and type in rope and you should find what you need.

Thanks everyone see you Sunday.

Sorry about the last one, there should of been a nice Agean Blue boat bottom but I still cant work out how to make the pic small enough.

the new bottom

I used to tow my 12 on a very heavy trailer with a 2CV that 0.62L and that had no trouble!

I used to tow my tiger all over the place on a very heavy trailer and all camping gear with a Citeron 2CV that's 0.62l, so I guess there isn't a modern car out there that won't pull it with ease. Yor only talking about the weight of two adults in the back!!
Simon.

Thanks for that info, I'd love to see a picture of her from back then with or with out the spinnaker
thanks
Simon.

Thanks for that, I did ask Brian about the holes when I picked her up and he told me about the spinnaker, I've finnished the boat now but can't work out how to upload the photos, it says the file is to big, any thoughts!!

I have just taken over N3313:D She is staying in the North and is having a shiney new paint job at the moment, pics when shes finnished.
