Perhaps not what you are looking for but Starfish N2020 is looking for a trip out! Angus sailed her last year at Thorpe Bay but is helming Mr Jones this year. P :K)

I am going to give sam a free bump on this message, because I am also looking for a 12 to sail at burton week.

Having just sold token gesture, and with Gordon becoming unstitched at the seams, I find myself boatless for the event. The holidays are booked and a crew arranged just need to aquire a ride.

my dream boat would be something with a little freeboard but a DB (6 ft crew needs a bit of space, even if she can hide behind a lampost) but if there is a good AC boat that is available then we would consider that. I am even considering buying a boat for the event then selling it afterwards, but I have a budget of 2k if I am to do that.
Can collect a boat from anywhere in the midlands, right the way down to London, the home counties, or even weymouth, southampton areas, so transporting not a problem.

surely someone has a DCB getting delivered and their older boat coming available.... I am a N12 association member, a DI and a rear commode of my club so I have the crudentials to look after your pride and joy.
please get intouch if you can help

If you're looking for an AC boat within your budget, you could do a lot worse than 3217 Wendy Windblows. A well sorted boat with 2009 sails and all the bits. Philip David had a lot of success with the boat including winning the Admirals Cup at Burton Week last year

Yep and he was still winning at Newburn in her a couple of weeks ago too, perhaps you could buy this boat, a Foolish might just slow him down for a week or two and give the rest of us a chance!!
