This may sound a bit silly, but i would like to buid a National 12. It's a bit silly because i live in Germany where there isn't really any opportunity to test specific N12 designs as there is no real N12 scene here. But still, the N12 looks like the perfect dinghy for me.
I'd like to build a boat â€" simply for the joy of building â€" that i can sail in a larger salty inland lake in Holland (Grevelingenmeer). More to the point, i find the Man-O'-War design so aesthetically pleasing that my heart is kind of set on building one of these. It does not really matter that it is probably hard or even impossible to have it measured in Germany or Holland as there are no races there anyway. I understad that the Man-O'-War is a design by Dare Barry. Dare, if you are reading this: Do you have any plans available for the Man-O'-War that you are willing to give away for a fee or a donation to the National 12 Owner's Association? If Dare isn't reading this, does anybody know how to contact him?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice offered and please excuse my English â€"
