21 Oct 2024, 12:13
Advertised for sale on eBay October 2024, "Buy it Now" of £75.
Ad reads as below :
'Macaroon' is an old GRP sailing dinghy, believed to date from 1972 and to be of the 'Paper Dart' design
These are very popular boats, but this one has been sitting idle for a while so it's time for it to have a new home.
It is complete, with mast, boom, sails and rudder, lines etc., but is in need of a good clean up and some 'TLC'! The cover is in poor condition, and will need replacing or repair.
Bungs included (inner, and outer) but need re-fitting.
Sails: Main and jib both in reasonable condition. Sail no: 3174

Free to a good home. N2320 (Imposter, designed by B Rowsell). 1965. This was my father's twelve from new. Has been stored for a while and has some delamination to foredeck, etc. All fittings are off the boat but available. P&B Sails were almost new when it went into store. May consider to sell sails separately.

N2851 - Mischief design.
In need of TLC & restoration. Xenobia was originally raced at Aldenham Reservoir in 1980's and moved to Ardleigh Reservoir in 1990. She has been dry stored in my garage since 1994 awaiting restoration but I've never got around to it. Now an impending house move means that I need a clear out the garage and I'd hate to have to put such a pretty boat in a skip. Shes certainly dry but I'm unsure of her condition. She still has sails, centre board, rudder / tiller, bailers etc, mast and a trailer. So if anyone is looking for a winter restoration project please contact me asap.

Posted from N12 website October 2024
For the last 20 years I have been the owner of N2379, Avocet II.
I rescued her from a bonfire in 2001 and started to restore her, initially replacing her transom and revarnishing her exterior. I've always thought she was a beautiful design with rolled side decks and attractive lines.
After storing her in the dry for the last 23 years I've realised I will never finish the restoration.
I'd happily give her to someone who understands National 12's and would complete the restoration. She needs a new aft buoyancy tank and some replacement timber in her hog.
