I am looking at an Aluminium Proctor C mast used with all fittings still in the box
I have a small budget, therefore second hand is my only real option
If carbon is a real advantage, if I could get one, how much would I get one for?

Could anyone tell me if a Proctor C mast 24 foot long is good to use on a new N12
Thanks
Iain

I bought the boat from Angus
The boat is now being sailed (Badly) at Loch Lomond Sailing Club
I am sailing the boat with my son Scott and sometimes my daughter Katie
The boat name and colours have now changed........
The boat is called Magpies and has a diagonal black and white stripped hull..........I literally have a sinking feeling, but I am sure things will improve allround.
 

Could anyone help?
I am looking for plans for a paradise pudding or something similar
Must be for a heavey crew and reasonably stable.
I am thinking of a winter project and some plans would be a good start

Does anyone know how i would get a hold of plans??

I have a Crusader 3208
I have only been sailing for 2 months
I starting to sail without swimming......but only in light winds

Could anyone tell me about a paradise pudding............a good looking design
Is it good for heavy crews??
Is it a reasonable stable boat??

Hello Everyone,
I am new to sailing and have recently got a N12 .....Crusader Type......for me and my 8 yr old son...The boat seams very tipy / unstable, I realise I am sailing the boat on inland waters which have gusty winds which does not help.
But I am considering putting 2 x stabilizing strips on the bottom of the hull approx 6" either side of the centre line.
The strips would be approx 6 foot long and made from 3" x 3" L shaped pvc
Has anyone done this before or has anyone got any other ideas or is this is daft idea!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Iain
