There was one ACC boat that tried it as a boom, 'Enterprise' winner of the 14th cup. (amazing what google knows!) you could actually walk along it and it would double as a sunshade!!
 But boom restrictions have stopped it.
I think I might go back to the drawing board!!

OK imagine a   wing on a modern plane and the small triangles they strap on the end of the wing (winglets).  they act to stop the circulation of flow around the end of the wind making it more efficient.

Why could you not do something similar on a national and have a winglet on the top?

P.s. if someone steals the idea I want commission!!!

First race in 3211 last night in light winds and she was a dream.  We won the handicap  racewith about 20 boats in.
!
Thats better  than I have ever done in my shiny RS Vareo that I sail on my own!

I hear you lot getting so excited about the 12 but now I understand why.

When they tack like they do and out point just about everyone why is everyone not sailing them?

Think I might struggle to convince them to use the PY though as we beat fireballs and supernovas!

if we went for a new set how much are we talking about?
are any cheaoer than other??

3211 has found its new home in nottingham but I now desperately need a new set of sails.
Surely someone can help me out?
Of course i would be happy to pay for them.

Thanks

Quick question.  The link for the how to set up your 12 seems dead.  Has anyone got a copy they could email to me?
Thanks

Thanks for the offer and sounds great but unfortunately I think they will be too far away.
Will try to hunt some down nearer home.

Finally I have found a 12 to the specification I wanted.
I have a lovely crusader that is now mine.  I believe it is 3211 called chtou chtou, really really chuffed.  I do however need a set of sails as these are pretty ruff at best!!
If any of you have a set going after Burton week let me know.  I am looking for a decent ish set suitable for decent club sailing on a crusader with aluminium mast.

Thanks for all your help in the hunt, really friendly class so far.

p.s.  I am based in notts but am in salcombe still until the wkd.
