Hi all, recently bought a 12 via ebay and looking to learn how to use her. Sail number 1612 (yep, a nice wooden boat!), not sure if that is the genuine origional number though.......
After much Anglo Saxon, I have finally rigged the boat in my garden (dry run first so as not to make too much of a fool of myself!). But, Im struggling to understand how to use the kit, and, even after looking at many photos, I cant for the life of me work out how to rig the boom pulleys (sorry if terminology incorrect) ie pulley on the transom to the pulley on the end of the spar/boom, and, mucho Anglo Saxon as I cant for the life of me get the keel (daggerboard??) to drop down.........and scarily, its attatched to more pulleys and rope!! Beam me up Scotty....NOW!!:)
Please feel free to snigger uncontrolably
;D.........
I live in the South Lakes and notice there is a 12 meeting at Ullswater this weekend. Could anyone give me details please. Thanks in advance, Tony
