Finally took Sylvester out Sunday! Despite some initial rigging issues I loved it. Loads to learn, not least how to turn a boat facing the wrong way! I was apprehensive about sailing single handed, but despite forgetting to uncleat the jib before tacking it was fine. I even  managed to stay upright. I am fairly new to sailing and am now sure the 12 is the perfect !earning boat for me, and so much fun to boot. If like me you don't have to worry about having an ultra comparative boat I cant think of a other class where you buy an old boat and get as much bang for your buck. Can't wait to try the tigress!
