[National 12 Webmaster]

The life of N3469 So Long And Thanks For All The Fish. Design: Numinous, designed by: Bim Daser in 2001 

 

YW Silver National Points Trophy & Burton Cup winning boat, Tenby 2002, Graham Camm & Zoe Ballantyne

This was the first boat built to Bim Daser's Numinous design and the first 12 built by Brett Dingwall.
The Numinous has a very rounded hull so is very good inland in light winds. She can be really quite exciting in a breeze.

She has a glass foam sandwich hull with carbon-reinforced decks. She won Burton Week and the Burton Cup (Tenby) in 2002.

3469 moved to a new home today having been in the care of John Sears ". ......Fish" now resides in Nether Heage. By chance just up the road from Holbrook in Derbys and will be sailing at Carsington Res.

August 2009 and 'So Long And Thanks For All The Fish' has a new home at Spinnaker with Rosie and Simon Walworth. Won her first race a Spinnaker, shame neither of her owners were on board!
