For years I was cursed with the ownership of the increcidble sinking paws the infamous invention of John Sears thought id got away from it.
I  returned to n12s after many years picked up Gillespie yesterday from Tony Edwards I noticed a small repair section in one of the side decks Tony said that was where he had been hit by John many years before so there you have it even my new boat has Remnents of John Sears on it just hope it dont nose dive as bad.
 
well looking forward to teaching my boy to sail in Gillespie

yep happy withit didnt get carbon mast just Tin one guess Tony had other plans for that but dont need it a moment just got to get my boy sailing did get the good sails though.
looking forward to sailing her

IM NOW NOT STRESSED IVE GOT IT.
Gillespie another one that liked to show its transome a few years ago

only prob is with the baggy 2 its no good in light stuff and seing my boy is ony 7 its mainly light wind stuff thats important but it might still be a option if nothing else comes up soon

Still looking for a boat to sail with my 7 year old boy sailing season is almost here and so is the Burton and still no boat arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

really hoping to be there still havent found a boat

What can I say about Simply Red well when I was much younger and lighter I crewed in her in 1988 at Burton week never did get windy enough and it was a real slug in the light stuff (remeber seeing really badly sailed boats going past us like we were stuck in glue) all that said when the wind picked up enough to lift that heavy duty rocker she then started to play nice.
To sum it up good in a blow but no blow no go
 
all the Best Paul

:oHi all Im looking to buy  12 to sail with my 7 year old boy.
Been out of 12s for a few years last burton week  I done was in 1989. Hoping to go to the Burton this year as its just down the road from me (Im in Mersea Island)
Anything considered dont want to spend the earth till I Know if my Boy likes it.
WHY baggy, crusader, bouncer, anything but no street legals or radical postures lol.
 
call  on 07960 874 365 if you can help thanks Paul

Well what can I say I was the last owner of this legend of N12 history, she is now in boat heaven the repair made to the transome that was made by John Sears in its early life aftter accident in petrol garage saw its end what with that and gipsys stealing the rig for the aluminium value REP Paws you will be missed but not the frequent nose dive dips.
