Seasalter Sailing Club are holding our annual Open Fowley race around Fowley Island on the 9th of september. A long way away, i know but always good to know. The club is situated on the North Kent coast just west of Whitstable. It would be good to see a few N12s coming down for a sail on the Swale. The race starts at 12.45. Camping and catering are available at the club. more information can be found at www.seasaltersailing.org.uk and even more information about entering the race can be found by emailing our sailing secretary on swillis@me139ty.fsnet.co.uk

Cheers, Ben N2743

Hi, James,
if you are in the South east there is what appears to be an old Needlespar mast in the overflow park at Whitstable Yacht Club. if you ask them nicely they might let you have it for free. it needs some work on it though because the spreaders are a bit bent but nothing major.
Ta, Ben

Hi all,
Having had some of the best sailing of last year either in a twelve or as a crew on a hornet with a sliding seat i have started wondering if combining the two would create the ultimate in sailing experiences. Would the rules of development of the 12 allow me to put a sliding seat on my 12?

Ta, Ben

hi all,
as mentioned in a previous thread i am looking for a cheshire cat design 12 which has been mistreated lately as a project that would enable me to sell off my heavy old Paper Dart (a relief to many members of my club who are press-ganged into pushing her up the beach). if there are any out there that people know about could they let me know. i never put a healthy boat down.
cheers, Ben
