I used to sail at Attenborough, they are a very friendly bunch - I loved sailing there.

I think there is still 1 12 there but not sure how much they sail.

Happy sailing.

Hi all,

 

I managed to loose both my transom flaps on Miffy today.

Any suggestions on where I can get a replacement or what people  use to make their own?

 

Cheers

Jon

Miffy 3466

Thanks John.  The boat came with 2 mains.  One was flatter and set ok on the straight mast but the 2nd newer fuller main was not so happy.  It looks happier with some kicker so I'm pretty sure a little mast bend is what I need

I'll give it a go again on her side.

I did have a quick play before we raced yesterday but because the spreaders are rotating forward the wing nuts were not coming into play, so angle adjustment was having no effect.
If I can't get things to behave I will post a few pictures thanks.

Miffy 3466 (not 3211 that was our old 12!)

Hi All,
I'm after some help.
We've recently come back to the class having 5 years out and we've just bought 3466 - Miffy.  We're going to be sailing at West Oxforshire Sailing Club.  Hopefully we can encourage a few others to make the shift to the 12.
Had her first proper race today but I think I need some tuning help.  I dont have enough pre bend in the mast, the spreaders are not doing their job, whatever the rig tension.

The spreaders are not locking out and are bending forwards.  Anyone got any advice?  Rake seems to be in the right ball park, mast is seated properly.  Do I need to increase the length of the spreaders?

Thanks in advance.
Jon and Sarah

Chtou Chtou 3211 - ledger built crusader, good suit of race sails.

Oh and your best English otherwise I will think it is another purchase scam! :-)

Hi all,

Has anyone ever had a purchase scam from the for sale section of this site?

Someone has just offered to buy Chtou Chtou in full without seeing her, was all written in slightly broken english and was talking about shipping it overseas so am a bit fearful.


Anyone know a Lora Jones?  Appologies if she is a regular 12 sailor that I have jsut offended but it all smells a bit fishy!

One line was;
    "Let me know the  working capacity and the last price it will go for.
    let me read from you soon...."

There is a crusader mould going in the for sale>bits section

I am sorry to say that chtou chtou is up for sale :-(
we have decided that we are just too heavy for her and it is spoiling our fun on the water so she is being sold.  We are going to get something that can carry a little more weight, probably a merlin although still undecided.

Thanks to everyone that has helped make this class great and hopefully one day will return.

If anyone is interested in her then please give me a call.  She is a great little boat.
