Someone at my sailing club has had a note from someone needing to give away a lovely vintage National 12. This boat has some history and won Burton week many years ago. It is currently owned by the original designer/builder/winner and says: The original "Squid". N1664 built 1960 ish in almost perfect as new condition is available as a gift to a good home. Only needs a couple of buoyancy bags and a bit of work on the rig. Kept under cover. Glued ply construction, varnish in good cond. recipient collects from Poole area, no cover or trailer.”

[face=arial,helvetica,sans-serif] He says his grandchildren are not interested but has a very limited time to find a new home for this boat.  be collected from Poole.[/face]

I think I can get hold of some photos if required

Hi  I think that this is now in hand and Paul Turner has been in touch with the current owner with a view to possibly taking the boat on and including it in his "Turner Collection" of vintage first off Twelves.  Perhaps Paul will comment further as to the current situation? 8)
