March 2025, 2958 is now repainted and the interior has been stripped and varnished. The areas identified for non slip have been prepared and I am turning my attention to the decks. An area of damage on the starboard gunwhale will need attention, I'm deciding how best to proceed with that. The plan is to be ready to launch at Easter at Manor Park Sailing Club near Kings Bromley in Staffordshire.

Offered on FB Marketplace March 2025. Advert reads :

National 12 dinghy project. Hull number 3168. The boat is generally in reasonable order but needs work to get sailing again. There's a crack on both sides where the foredeck and side decks meet. Complete with rig, sails, rudder etc. 
Free to a good home. Sitting on a launch trolley but doesn't have a road trailer.
Collection only from Lowestoft.

This sail number was issued to David East in late 1980 for his latest boat, a modified (wider) Design 6. Unfortunately the hull failed to measure and the number was withdrawn. The hull then sat in David's shed for a decade before the gunwales were sawn off and the boat then measured and certificated as N3359 in 1991.

The story is in the N12 Newsletter 89, January 2025.

Bought DI at the end of last season, not sailed her much so far but really looking forward the the coming season.

Happily my Crusader 3244 sold within the club and we are now up to 13 N12s at Whitefriars.
