General National 12 chat / Wire Kicking Strap Wheel

« on: April 13, 2012, 12:59:23 AM »

Has anybody else had this Wire kicking strap on a wheel? my wheel has snapped in 2, and I'm wondering if anybody knows if this is worth fixing, or setting up a decent rope kicker. Thanks.

Hi there.

I have a few old sets of Sails that aren't really in a great usable condition - verry baggy - for me and my crew who are not heavyweight. Does anybody have any for sail, don't need to be brand new, just something suitable for club racing?

N2090

General National 12 chat / Kicker pictures please?

« on: October 29, 2011, 08:07:26 PM »

Could I please have some pictures of you're kickers to give me an idea of how to make my own as i've figured it will save a whole load of money?!
Thanks!

PS. I'm thinking either to do a 12:1 or a 16:1 kicker.

General National 12 chat / Spinnaker for fun?

« on: October 15, 2011, 08:01:31 PM »

Me and my Crew have an old national 12 (1962) and are restoring her to sail in regattas for fun, not serious National Championships so.... we wondered is it ok to rig the boat to sail with a spinnaker just for fun in a 'mixed centreboard' class?

Can I rig my National 12 to be Centre Sheeted, I just personally prefer it rather than aft sheeting?!

General National 12 chat / Where to place the rigging for Dangly Pole?

« on: August 13, 2011, 03:29:15 PM »

Hi, i am the new owner of a 1962 national 12, and was just wondering where should i set up the rigging (block and cleat) for my Dangly Pole, because the floor isn't flat and is very deep and low to work with, with ease...?

Pictures and advice would be appreciated.
