Have a quick word with Brian Miatt about the filled holes on the inwales by the thwart. If memory serves me well this was for a spinnaker (do not know if it was asymetric or what) that was being trialled way back in the day. As luck would or would not have it, whoever owned the boat then had the kite up and was sailing merrily along, only to be overtaken by Mike Jackson sailing his Chapter without a kite, or so the story goes. :o |

N3313 "Chapter & Verse" was originally owned by Mike Shallow who was Class Chairman 1992-94. With respect to the spinnaker; in 1992 "a group of enthusiasts from Royal Harwich YC decided that Burton Week 1992 would be a good time to see what the reaction was regarding such future developments" said Yachts and Yachting. There is a large colour picture of N3313 rigged with bowsprit and spinnaker in a Yachts and Yachting article on developments in the National Twelve from later in 1992. Nigel Waller developed the idea further with N3344 "Ella" and created a radical rig with two "jibs" - a conventional jib for upwind sailing and an assymetric spinnaker that was used downwind. The spinnaker was furled upwind and the jib furled when sailing downwind in order not to breach the rules. On this rig setup the mainsail area was reduced to a bare minimum with the mast mounted so far back in the hull that the crew moved round the front of the mast when tacking or gybing. An intriguing development!! I have photos if anyone is interested. |

This is obviously a reference to the size of a ladies bottom as it appears to be invisible ! :o |

Sorry about the last one, there should of been a nice Agean Blue boat bottom but I still cant work out how to make the pic small enough. |

Can hardly believe 3313 is no more!!! Here is the video of her "famous" spinnaker trial at Exmouth in 1992...the RS200 prototype http://youtu.be/fqOo8cQ2q2Y |
