Where is she now. I still have the certificate see pic

David I have tried Winder they aren't interested at the moment and the moulds may be for sale.Perhaps we should speek to P&B

jon ,give me a ring and I will tell you how to repair it.Gerry

I started this to sound out the less agile of us who find dbs uncomfortable not those who insist on filling their boats with water as they will be better off with a db.

A few answers,
Roger, mast hight isgoverned by a measurment from the sheerline but there is nothing to stop you raising the boom but that means new sails to fit.
As for Jimbo if there is enough wind to capsize there is enough to empty it, unless it is gusty. Sit well back plate at least half up to bearawy onto a reach
David I have built boats with the front tank back to the plate case and same hight, a wide  plate case as bouyancy and low stern tank ie a db with a foot well, it worked well

Having discused over a bottle of wine or two at NORFOLK WEEK and burton week that there is a case for nondouble bottom boats because some of us are not as agile as we were but still like to sail 12s and find scrabbling around in a double bottom boat uncomfortable. I think there are sailors out there that would like a new boat and have no intention of doing champs but would like a modern design.All we need is a builder (not me) so what do we think?

It is my understanding that the original date for Burton was 5th-10 August 2007.NWNW was already decided and usually check with the 12s to avoid a clash. IT seems unfair to Norfolk to have to clash because Salcombe wont move, dose it have somthing to do with the fact that more committee members go to Salcombe rather than NWNW?

Program is avaliable on www.norfolkweek.co.uk  Lets have a good turnout this year
