Re: Free and Lark Hulls

Hi Pat
I can't find a number on the Lark but its not a J. Baker but a more recent hull may well be a Rondor? or is it Parker? Not familiar with Lark builders. Generally seems to be in good condition.
I've some photographs for you that I'll email to you.

Alan.

Free and Lark Hulls

The two hulls are at Roadford. Finn is a well known Pearson from the 60's Tiger 286 I think. I would give you sail for it but you would need to source a boom and fittings but a traveller is included. A mast and rudder stock, could be available. If no one wants the Lark or Finn they will be destroyed...

Re: TacTick Compass

Hi Michael
The New Zealand guys appear to have cracked that. Will let you know if it works. It maybe my soldering skills that really kill the thing.

Re: TacTick Compass

Thanks Phil
The compass is dead so it's worth a try before having to shell out for a new one.
