For sale on social media, November 2022. Advert reads as follows :
N12 3482 Steam Pudding, Man'o'war design. Bought a couple of years ago with some upgrades completed, but just not sailing enough.
Comes with two mains, three jibs, carbon boom, and trolley (no trailer). Slight damage shown in photo on the rear deck where the bridle was (inexplicably) attached, since corrected. Needs a bit of love but it's a lovely open cockpit shape. Jib cleats attached for younger sailors.
Open to offers, located in Royal Harwich YC.

If you are planning on camping at Northampton this weekend, please pitch your tent away from the club, they are expecting a big turn out for the fireworks and dont want any tents squashed by cars parking in the dark! They suggest down by the training centre is best.

Thank you Tom

Last post by edwillett - 24 Oct 2022, 03:03
I had a very short blade on my Crusader '88 Dave and seemed to work fine. However weed is a problem and I have to regularly clear it and/or sail with it angled aft which is Ok in light winds but no good with any breeze due to weather helm and train on the pintles. Just glad its not a "foiler" blade!
