For sale on "marketplace" July 2024. Located in South Molton.

Text and pictures from advert below.
"Salty" is a National Twelve (sail number 1551) built in Exmouth, Devon, by Rowsells in 1957,and the firm is still in existence.
This boat was originally a racer but can be sailed quite safely, single handed or two up, pottering about in calmer waters. She has built in buoyancy in fore and aft compartments.
 She was originally sailed around Teignmouth and the River Dart  (Royal Dartmouth Yacht Club is still shown on her stern).
 Reference to the National Twelves website reveals some history from around 15 years ago.  Having declined from her former glory she has since been renovated and restored.
The boat now comes with a fully functioning combi trailer (launch trolley and road base), a spare wheel, full weatherproof cover, alloy mast, two mainsails, jib sail, two rudders (one folding and one fixed) and two tillers with folding extensions.

General National 12 chat / Shoreham - June 22nd/23rd

It's not too late to decide that you want to head down to the Sussex coast for a couple of days of genuine sea sailing - pop out of the harbour and you are in the English Channel. Thankfully there is a wind farm to keep the bigger ships away but there will be some movements in and out of Shoreham Port - usually less of a problem than the hordes casting long lines off the harbour walls in the very unlikely chance of hooking a fish. At the moment the wind is forecast for a nice Westerly 12 knots on Saturday and 10 or 11 from the South-West on Sunday. We are scheduled to do 3 races on Saturday but we have a class choice of either doing another 3 back to back races round the inflatable buoys or taking on the challenge of the Black Rock Race to Brighton Marina and back on Sunday. Last year there was no wind and the Black Rock Race was mighty challenging (especially for those that took a flyer out to sea...) but this year it should be good with the tide changing in the middle of the day. If we all want an adventure (and long distance practise for the Burton Cup) then a trip taking in the sights of Brighton could be entertaining.

Entry details are on-line at https://members.shorehamsailing.org/event/fos-2024 but I think you could still join in on Saturday morning. If anyone wants any help, do let me know!
