Might be best to sail her a few times in current configuration to make sure she doesn't leak into the front tank when she is fully loaded and sailing in a bit of a blow. Perhaps safest not to take the bag out and seal everything up without being completely certain she doesn't leak under all conditions. Good luck with her - have a lot of fun.

Thanks so much for that information Simon. I sailed 3249 for the first time today with my wife for a couple of hours. I see what you mean about taking on water easily when heeled. Great fun though, and quite quick really. We are looking forward to having a go in a lot more breeze.

N3249 "Fat Tulip" is now safely home at BLYM in Rickmansworth, washed down and cleaned up a bit. Looks to be in very good order indeed. I think two of the Brand Loyalty design N12s were built which suggests it wasn't successful  - does anyone know anything about this boat, or the Brand Loyalty design?

I've just purchased N12 3249 via ebay and will be picking her up in a day or two; she will be heading to BLYM in Rickmansworth after a bit of TLC in my garage.
Very interested to hear from previous owners / anyone who knows anything about this boat.
