I'm trying to get in touch with David Griffiths who built of my crusader N3258 and a few others as well. Has anybody got contact details for him?
thanks

It is normal for an AC to be swamped after a capsize, mine almost fills up to the gunwales.
to empty it, open the transom flaps and the bailers, sit back (the deck might be under water at this point), go on a reach and sail fast. lifting the centerboard half way and pulling the jib in tight helps counteracting the weather helm produced by the swamped boat and allows you to bear away. Most of the water should escape quite quickly the rest takes a bit longer.

hope this helps

We will be there
Will there be some food available for lunch or do we need to bring our own?

N3258

bought by tom lee in Aug 2006.
sailing at Burghfield
she was sold with the mainsail of one of the soapdishes which was in perfect conditin but far to big (6.5m2) so I got Kevan bloor to recut it; it now sets well.

Bribing should't be a problem.
will give you a call at some point just to confirm

Thanks
Tom

i think that the problem lies within 13.1  which among other items prohibits pneumatic equipment.   ie you can have something that is potentially inflatable and the only issue is inflating it!

inflatable buoyancy bags are allowed so I think that shouldn't be an issue.
