The life of N2529 Hot Planks. Design: Hot Planks, designed by: Harry Dalby in 1971

Robin Hunter

I have owned Hot Planks N2529 since 1980, I used to sail her at Derwent Sailing Club Swarkston in Derbyshire, I moved to Cornwall in 1982, taking the boat to Stithians Sailing Club where she was sailed in handicap races, no National 12 class racing in Cornwall that I know of. The Boat has been stored in our barn since the 1990s when we had small children and there wasn't time to sail her. I am currently refinishing and renovating the boat prior to possibly selling her. I understand from Mr Dalby that she was built as a prototype to prove a development in design and construction methods. If anyone knows any more I'd love to hear your comments,
