Re: Tricorn on e-bay
Potentially a very nice cruising dinghy by the looks of it.

Re: Hello from a Newbie
Hello Thom,
I used to sail Ospreys at Chasewater in the 70's. Looking forward to following the progress on your Ent.

Re: Not an Osprey?
Apparently an 'out of class' Osprey. An inch or less too short? What tolerences are allowed generally with measuring boats? I could understand a problem with a boat too long. It sounds that there may be a story behind it though Maybe a lot of hard work to make her followed by a Homer Simpson "...

Re: Not an Osprey?

Re: Introduction
You might find that she was fitted out with parts from an expired boat. I can't prove that didn't happen but I think it's unlikely that anyone would recycle a 13 year old buoyancy bag. Some of the brass fittings are very low cost such as deck clips and it would just seem pointless to re-use such it...

Introduction
Hello, New member here. Learned to sail in the late 60's. Started off with a Heron which we raced at a local gravel pit for a couple of seasons before I decided I wanted something bigger and faster.
