Well after nearly a year of waiting I have a two week window at school and Kifi has started her major refit:
new hog, keel, and garboard planks to start with: As you can see removal of the keel exposed the problem and it only got bigger.......

General National 12 chat / GUL Series 1: Burghfield SC 23/24 March
11 Mar 2013, 08:58
The first event of the National GUL series takes place in a little under two weeks at Burghfield Sailing Club on the 23/24 March.
The weekend starts with a mornings coaching for those that wish to participate and blow the cobwebs off their boats. Coaching will have an early start so that we can squeeze in some meaningful tuition prior to racing.
The racing follows a similar format to the Inlands event at Northampton that has been run in the past, though stating a little later on the Saturday.
Saturday: Races 1&2 back to back from 2pm
Sunday: Races 3&4 back to back from 10am. Racing will be finished by lunch with prize giving after a meal, allowing for a leisurely return home!
Coaching is free, entry for the two days is £20 per entry if you pre-register using the link below and £22 if you enter on the day.
We are planning on either a meal at the club on Saturday evening or a trip to a local chinese or Indian depending on popularity. You can state your preference on the pre-entry form. camping is available onsite if the weather allows but there is also a list of local accommodation on the information event information page using the link below:
GUL series 1 -BSC
Please use the pre-registration system available on the link above so that we can get a good idea of numbers

Jeremy (on behalf of the BSC N12 fleet)
PS. if anyone would like to borrow a boat (there is at lest one crusader available)for the event please post here or contact me on the following e-mail address. jeremy(at)designs42.net

General National 12 chat / A personal note about the need for spring!
24 Feb 2013, 04:05
Poking one foot out of the bed this morning and testing the air temperature should have given me a good enough reason to stay in bed... but no, its Sunday and sailing is what we do on Sundays!
Off to the club then, temperature gauge never deigned to lift itself above the 0 mark on the drive and the bitter Northerly wind was already set fair as we arrived.
Bacon sarnie it was then, as we discussed the merits of the warmth of the clubhouse. Other craft on the beach were thin and far between whilst TC remained resolutely wrapped up in the relative warmth of her cover, the gentle smattering of snow looking decidedly comfortable on top. Bacon dispatched decisions had to be made, and perhaps I should have followed 'she who knows best' who confirmed that the chance of leaving the warmth of the club room was so far to being close to minimal that I really shouldn't ask!
But inexplicably I just had this urge to sail... can't think why, must be something to do with owning a 12 I suppose. So single handed it was to be then.
Boat rigged in record time, changed and then thought, hey this isn't so bad as I stood on the foreshore waiting for the committee boat to set station and still being able to feel my hands. Off I went, I even manged to keep the main sheet dry on launching (a big plus in my books for the little pinkies happiness). Wind, just on the limit of single handing upwind, but great for the offwind legs as planing came early.
First beat went well, ahead of a couple of blazes and other fast fleet boats and only blaze and the Icon in front. Single handed PY 1033 so had to work hard. Kept hanging on for a couple of laps, making little headway either forward or backwards against the competition, things going well! Third beat, went the wrong way and lost a good 50m on the Blaze who had been just in front, increasing wind was starting to play against me. Still a lot of offwind on the course so I went all out to really crank her up on the reaches. Shrouds, outhaul, board, all eased and off I flew.
Another gust, went for a bit of kinetics to flatten the boat and .... Bang.... over the side, headfirst into the coldly welcoming lake (I swear it had a grin on its face as it ate me up!)
Result very cold.... NO I mean VERY cold.... firs thought-'really should invest in a dry suit', broken footstrap the culprit, oh and a broken tiller extension in the classic case of denial as one is determined not to accept the inevitable..............
Going to miss that tiller extension, been with us 6yrs and part of the family!
Conclusion,
Should have stayed in Bed!!!! but still
