Thanks to Nessa and Nicky for a very memorable event! I've sent the report and pictures to Pat!

You need another Lark don't you?

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F233573255423 My old Lark for sale on eBay. All mods by me, inboard jib leads, spin chute, improved mast gate and deck strop. Looks like it hasn't been used much since I sold it but it's gained a decent trailer. It's a...

I've no idea what it is, but it looks very nice.
Ah, now I see the other thread, I wondered if it was a Zenith.

No idea, looks a nice boat though.

The classic Finn website no longer exists, but I'm trying to put as much information as possible on the British Finn site.

You can see I have a strop around the mast at deck level which takes the primary block so the drum power is doubled, then the drum take off goes through a block to a take off to either side so its multiplied by 2 again. You can a...

Donie, I have a copy of the Finn rigging guide which was produced in 1990, so towards the end of the alloy rig era. However the kicker is a lever kicker the same as a modern Finn. For a wooden rig you have to decide how you're going to do it. An old fashioned lever kicker will work, that's what I ha...

My best wishes to all this community in these difficult times. I've stocked up on..... Paint for our lounge and hall, and I've got enough varnish for a couple of coats on Django. I'm very fortunate in that I can still sail on the sea and there's a group of us who will still sail our Finns together m...
